In contrast to the generally sedentary [[Right Hand Cat]], this is what happens when the villains' pet plays an active role as a guard/weapon against the heroes. Expect [[Fluffy the Terrible]] in terms of naming and for the villain to be a confirmed [[Fluffy Tamer]]. Typically, villains will either show a [[Nightmare Fetishist]] streak and be oblivious to how savage their pets are, and will treat them kindly, or else, they will use the pets to (perhaps even literally) [[Kick the Dog]], sometimes by [[Fed to The Beast|feeding underlings and other poor unfortunates to them]]. Finally, as the title suggests, when the creature in question isn't a fantasy animal, it's very likely to be some kind of canine.
