There is a particular kind of little yappy dog who tends to get on a lot of people's nerves.

* Travis Cole in the movie ''[[Dirty Work]]''.

* Lex Luthor's girlfriend has <s>two</s> one of these in ''[[Superman Returns]]''.

* Percy from ''[[Pocahontas]]''.

* The movie ''[[Beverly Hills Chihuahua]]'' is about a typical spoilt ''Miss'' Muffykins (a white Chihuahua named Chloe) who gets lost in Mexico and is the descendant of proud <s>Incan</s> Aztec warriors. [http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0mI808JK6-Q Yes, this movie is real.]

* It's implied that Big Fido, the mad poodle that led the anti-human "Dog's Guild" in ''[[Discworld/Men At Arms|Men at Arms]]'' was one of these before he went insane. ''[[Discworld/Making Money|Making Money]]'' features a slightly more likable example in Topsy Lavish's dog Mr. Fusspot.

** And in ''[[Discworld/The Truth|The Truth]]'', Gaspode attempts to disguise himself as one of these, with mixed results:

** [[Discworld|Lord Vetinari]] once had an elderly terrier named Wuffles, perhaps his own version of the [[Right-Hand-Cat]]. [[Cute but Cacophonic|It wasn't terribly obnoxious though]], having a thin wheezing bark.

** Also notable for being the only character to fight Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip (in The Truth) head on and come away unscathed. No wonder Vetinari keeps him around, he's nearly as badass as his owner.

* Several comedy-themed ''[[Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]]'' tournament adventures from the 80s, written by Rick Reid, sent heroes on missions to rescue the kingdom's lap dog mascot. This little Miss Muffykins, and her knack for getting herself dog-napped, were the common thread in a series that bore her name: "Fluffy Quest".

* Dire poodles and other killer yappy dogs occasionally appear in comedic games. The [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG|Mr. Welch]] list [[The Loonie|discourages this]].
