{{quote| '''Sid''': ''My family abandoned me. They kinda migrated without me. You should have seen what they did last year.

* ''[[Willow]]'' has the hell dogs, which Bavmorda sends to track down the escaping nursemaid in the opening sequence. The nursemaid barely makes it to the water in time to drop the baby on a raft before the hell dogs are upon her.

* Maximus tracks Flynn this way in ''[[Tangled]]''. (Maximus, by the way, is ''[[All Animals Are Dogs|a horse]]''.)
