Mister Muffykins: Difference between revisions

For the record, most people in reality who have small dogs are more sensible. Tiny 'purse' dogs are a matter of convenience, especially in an urban environment. A smaller dog needs much less space to be happy, and they also tend to live longer than larger breeds.

** She got some closure in a subversion, as when we next see Madame Muchmoney [[Took a Level In Badass|she's become muscular]] [[Character Development|and much less snobbish]] because she's ''been trekking through the wildness after her dear Snubbull the entire time.'' Snubbull evolves to Granbull and the two decide to be a "proper" pokemon/trainer team.

* There's also Madame Shijimi in ''[[Naruto]]''. Her cat, Tora, often gets loose and runs into the forest, so a common Genin mission is to retrieve it.

** Note that Tintin is the proud owner of Milou/ Snowy, a wire fox terrier.

 

* FuFu, the evangelist's wife's dog in the spoof ''[[Repossessed]]'', gets tossed into a woodchipper by the frustrated evangelist. It was sweet justice.

* Fifi, the poodle from ''[[Open Season|Open Season 2]]''; a good not-so-old example of one of these little yappers having an evil little heart.

* ''[[Snakes On a Plane]]'' features blond socialite Mercedes and her teacup Chihuahua Mary Kate as two of the ill-fated passengers. Mercedes carries the little yipyap dog in her purse and even has antidepressants for it. {{spoiler|Mary Kate ultimately gets fed to a boa constrictor, who turns on and devours the asshole who threw it the dog.}}

* Queenie in the [[Danny Kaye]] version of ''The Secret Life of Walter Mitty'', who sits in a high chair to eat, wears a bib, and barks whenever the main character moves.

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

{{quote| "All in all, the effect was not of a poodle, but of malformed poodlosity. That is to say, everything about it suggested "poodle" except for the whole thing itself, which suggested walking away."}}

** 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.

* In T. H. White's ''[[The Once and Future King]]'', Queen Morgause (who in this adaptation (and ''[[Le Morte Darthur (Literature)|Le Morte Darthur]]'') is the mother of Mordred; Morgan La Fay is Morgause's sister and doesn't get involved in the story until later) has a succession of these little lapdogs. Mordred grows up hating them, but as an increasingly unstable adult starts keeping his own.

** It also said something that when Sylar held the family hostage that fans were upset that he didn't kill it.

* Amanda and Halston in ''[[Ugly Betty]]''.

* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'s'' Miss Piggy also had a little fluffy dog named Foo-Foo. He didn't like Kermit much.

* ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]'' has sort of an amusing take on this, in that the small fluffy dog Chaco is owned by [[Scary Black Man]] Mr. J.

== Webcomics ==

* In ''[[The Law of Purple]]'', the extremely intolerant Mrs. Wyrd owns some kind of very hyperactive long-haired little terrier named Burtie.
