Man’s best friends, aka dogs aka doggos aka pups aka you get the idea, have been part of popular culture in art, literature, and movies basically since humans started drawing things on cave walls.

I mean, the fact they all descended from wolves is pretty cool, and in terms of plot devices, there’s a lot a dog companion can add. They can help you defuse a bomb, distract an enemy, sniff out an important clue, or provide some much needed comic belief. I hear they’re also excellent at finding kids stuck in wells.
