** During Lou Rawls' episode, Floyd Pepper hands him [[AllDrummersAreAnimals Animals']] chain. Just as Floyd is warning them to stay away from cars Animal goes running after one dragging Rawls behind him.

* There's an enemy in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' called a Walker Guy that falls into this trope, with it being a Shy Guy walking a Chain Chomp. The Chomp's attack has it lunge across the screen multiple times with the hapless Shy Guy hanging on for dear life and said Shy Guy getting repeatedly battered across the floor in the process (complete with a fake out pause when the Shy Guy manages to pull the dog back a bit for about a second). The Mario bros can either take out the dog to cause the Shy Guy to run back to the other side of the arena, take out the Shy Guy to send the Chomp flying across the screen at random or take out both in the course of the same attack.
* Baby Mario and Baby Luigi's special item in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'' is a Chain Chomp that pulls the kart along for a while and sends racers it hits flying; every so often it goes careening forward without any semblance of control.

* In a rare non-accidental case of this, Iggy Koopa in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' rides around in a basket dragged by a large Chain Chomp (Mario guard dog equivalent) firing magic blasts at Mario. When he's hit, the Chain Chomp literally TurnsRed, changes direction and charges, dragging the knocked out Iggy Koopa with it. Repeat scenario twice for one hell of an interesting boss battle.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}'': Several dogs can be seen walking their owners during the song "Topsy Turvy." Though not in the usual way of this trope, but an even more literal one: the dogs are standing on their hindlegs, walking people who are on all fours!

If the animal is strong enough, or having capabilities that surpass its basic shapes (i.e. RobotDog or {{Hellhound}}), the owner may end up being quite literally dragged along... or even fly helplessly behind it.

A person is out walking their dog. Unfortunately, the dog is stubborn and disagrees with the planned route. Maybe it's seen a cat or some food, or maybe it came from [[RussianReversal Soviet Russia]][[labelnote:*]][[DontExplainTheJoke 'Cause in Soviet Russia,]] [[TropeNamers dog walks YOU!!]][[/labelnote]]. In any case, the result is that the dog becomes the one taking its unfortunate owner for a walk.

* An intentional example is the seeing eye dog, a guide for blind people. Naturally, the "dragging the owner" part is entirely averted by principle; .
