* The premise of the ''Animation/{{Lamput}}'' episode "Pup Mix" is based around this, with the docs' typical [[RoadRunnerVsCoyote chase to catch Lamput]] getting them all trapped in an old lady's house. The lady mistakes Lamput and the docs for her dog and treats them as such, going as far as to feed Slim Doc dog food (which he predictably doesn't enjoy).

* ''WesternAnimation/WeBareBears'': In "The Kitty", the bears find what they think is a stray cat, which Panda [[PlotAllergy strangely isn't allergic to]], and let it into their cave as a pet before going out. When they come back, it turns out that the cat is actually a baby cougar, and the cave is now overrun with adult cougars that the bears have to find a way to lure back outside.

Fixing the image link. Wikia/Fandom links will break after time if you don't cut the junk off the end.


* "Sam's New Pet", a story from ''Literature/ScaryStoriesToTellInTheDark'', follows the "Mexican Pet" urban legend. Sam's parents go to Mexico for a vacation and end up adopting a "Mexican Hairless dog" they find there as a pet. When Sam sees it foaming at the mouth one day, the family takes it to the vet, where they discover the truth: it's not a dog at all, but a rabid sewer rat. What makes this stand out from the other examples is the [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/scary-stories-to-tell-in-the-dark/images/5/53/Sams_new_pet.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20181007142719 illustration]], which makes it look less like a rat and more like a [[HumanoidAbomination feral toddler with a rat's tail]].

* Enforced on Juleak for a time in ''Fanfic/HeroChat'', thanks to a curse from an artifact that causes her to see dragons or anything dragon-themed as dogs. Luka reveals it to the rest of the team when his sister asked him why Team Miraculous had added another dog hero Wolfhound (Sabrina) when they already had Arashi (Kagami the ''Dragon'' hero).

* ''Literature/TalesOfKaimere'': In a world with sightings and history of Homunculi, the surviving [[AbusivePrecursors First Children]] experiments, and Demons, animals infected by rampant swarms of magic from a different species; many "ordinary" animals like monkies and [[spoiler:the Silent Ones]] are mistaken for the former two groups. Monkeys are thought by some Kaimerans to be homunculi made with human, cat, and/or bear traits, and [[spoiler:the Silent Ones are thought to be rogue homunculi or even aliens harvested from another planet]]. In truth, both of them are natural animals that arose from evolution like any other creature on Earth or Kaimere.
