Precious Puppy: Difference between revisions

* Mexican-based phone company Telmex ran many television ads in Mexico, Peru and Colombia featuring a [[Talking Animal|talking]] Jack Russel Terrier called ''Otto''. The dog is so popular that even people who dislike Telmex wind up liking the dog.

 

* Excel Saga has Menchi (AKA [[Woolseyism|Mince]]), the token animal sidekick who doubles as the [[Villain Protagonist|heroes]]' [[Eat the Dog|"emergency food supply."]]

* Gaomon in ''[[Digimon Savers]]'', who was squeed over by both Chika and Relena.

** In another episode, Earl is forced to run for office (it sort of makes sense), and at one point, he just says he loves puppies as part of a ploy to win votes (it works).

* An episode of ''[[The Monkees]]'' features a cute, puppy-filled romp sequence to the group's silly song "Gonna Buy Me a Dog."

* On ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', the bigger and meaner the on-screen dog, the more likely Crow and/or Tom are to exclaim "Puppy!"

** In the ''[[Werewolf]]'' episode, Bobo's attempt at making a werewolf ends in failure when he brings in a cocker spaniel instead of a wolf. He ends up cooing over the dog; this is expected since the dog is Kevin Murphy (Bobo)'s dog

 

== Professional Wrestling ==

** There was also Al Snow's brief run with having a chihuahua named Pepper as his, um, companion object. He gave Pepper to [[Jim Ross]], who was doing commentary, while he went to do his match. [[Jim Ross]] held the dog, noticed that he was scared of the crowds, and got legitimately angrier (for the dog's sake) as the match went on, mostly neglecting the commentary. Pepper would only make one other appearance on live TV.

** [[The Big Show]] once tried to give [[The Undertaker]] a peace offering, by giving him a wooden crate with a puppy inside. Right on cue, the entire audience (not very far removed from the [[Attitude Era]], mind you) broke out in an "Awwwwwwww", all in unison.

* [[LeapFrog]]'s Scout and Violet.

 

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', one of the little miniquests involves Colette attempting to name every stray dog in the game.

** Which only makes {{spoiler|her literal [[Kick the Dog]] moment when she's brainwashed after the [[Disc One Final Dungeon]]}} that much more horrifying.

* ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' combined this with [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]] and [[Chest Burster]]. [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=499#comic See here.]

* ''[[Freefall]]'': Florence Ambrose is a very important cast member. [http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff500/fv00463.htm Her child photo, however]...[[Cuteness Proximity|Who´s the cuty wolfy yoty puppy? You are!]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|Yes you are!!]] '''[[Everything's Deader with Zombies|Eeeaaaars!!!]]'''

 

== [[Web Original]] ==

* Police dogs. Police departments recognized this trope and, instead of training them only to be vicious and apprehend resistive suspects as they did in the past, now train them to do that and roll over for a belly rub at community events and liaisons to help less intimidating to children.

** And to pretty much anyone else.
