Pet the Dog: Difference between revisions

<!-- %% These are just the ASOIAF ones I can remember, feel free to add more.%% -->

* Raistlin of the ''[[Dragonlance]]'' saga, a treacherous, twisted [[Villain Protagonist]] (albeit an ensemble one) driven by bitterness and insatiable ambition, has a kindly streak when it comes to the downtrodden and pitiful... as he knows firsthand what it feels like to be helpless and hated. This leads to many Pet the Dog moments, ''especially'' with Bupu the Gully Dwarf, who inadvertently becomes a kind of [[Morality Pet]].

** Unclear nothing: what they do with that {{spoiler|empathy ray at the bullring}} is both a [[Take That]] and a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in its own right.

* In the ''[[Warcraft]]'' novel ''Lord of the Clans'', Grom Hellscream chastizes his fellow orcs for kidnapping a child, since that was not how warriors acted.
