* ''Fanfic/ChaldeaEvilIncorporated'': [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Perry]] can tell that [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Fou]] cares deeply for Mash, and the unidentified creature [[CrazyJealousGuy gets jealous of Mash has her attention on another cute animal]]. Perry can relate as he sees Phineas and Ferb as his boys, despite being different species plus the fact that the Platypus is their pet.

* In ''ComicStrip/PhoebeAndHerUnicorn'', Marigold (the unicorn) sometimes calls Phoebe her accessory or back warmer, because unicorns have egos the size of Jupiter. But since they are genuine friends, she doesn't mind it when everyone assumes that she is Phoebe's unicorn. This gets pointed up in a series of strips where they meet another Marigold-and-human pair whose relationship is purely utilitarian: the human wants a ride to school and the unicorn wants a warm back.

* ''Series/LostGirl'' affirms that various fae essentially "own" humans in a manner that has been compared as the humans being slaves or pets, requiring them to seek permission from their fae owners to take action and even serving as "food" for the fae in some cases. Lauren Lewis is officially the property of the Ash- the ruler of the Light Fae- as she seeks a cure for the condition that left her girlfriend Nadia in a coma, but by contrast, while main character Bo "claimed" her friend Kenzi early in their association with the fae Bo and her close fae friends don't consider Kenzi "property" in the same sense and recognise it is a necessary fiction to protect Kenzi from other fae. Another example of a fae-human dynamic is shown with a teenage fae who was adopted by a human and had been helping his father compete in a fight club without knowing about his true heritage; once he was brought into fae culture, new Ash Lachlan agreed with Dyson's request that the boy be allowed to remain with his human father, although it is unclear if this means the boy technically "owns" his father from a fae perspective.
* The punchline of the ''Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie'' sketch set in a vet's waiting room is that the reason Stephen's ghastly character is there is that his dog wants to have him put down.

* WebVideo/NeuroSama and Vedal play with this dynamic. While Neuro is human (in appearance) and Vedal is something of a HeadPet, both are well aware that Vedal is the one in control.

* In ''Fanfic/BloodSisters'', Bella is concerned to learn that fae can basically "own" people, but is assured that Kenzi is just Bo's friend (as far as the two are concerned) and Edward never "claimed" Bella when he thought she was human before they learned that she was actually a succubus. The Quillettes are also shown to disapprove of the idea of owning people, with Jacob disturbed at the idea that Kenzi could be Bo's "property" (unaware that Bo and Kenzi consider themselves friends rather than master and 'slave').

* There's a meme of pictures of cats or dogs acting like a person's partner is theirs and being jealous. A typical title is "My cat reminding me I'm basically my husband's side chick".

* ''[[Fanfic/LostInCamelot The Lost Kingdom]]'' pays particular attention to how most fae see humans as basically pets when Merlin and Morgana accompany Dyson and Bo to the territory of the Blood King after Bo is left fatally weak from a curse. Dyson has to establish that Merlin and Morgana ‘belong’ to Bo to justify them accompanying him and Bo back to the palace, and warns them to be cautious when interacting with other fae as they would have less respect for humans than Bo or Dyson. Back in the court, most fae are shown freely talking about humans as though they’re just pets to the extent that some fae are unsure how long humans live ‘in the wild’ (i.e. when not "property" of a fae), and at least one fae believed it was acceptable to only feed a human every week rather than multiple times a day.

* {{Cats|AreSuperior}} were not domesticated the same way most animals were. Humans liked to build big houses full of grain that attracted rodents, and when cats decided to hunt those rodents, the humans were only too happy to reward them with free warmth and shelter. Cat lovers to this day know that it's the cat who adopts the human, not the other way around

** Temeraire proves in ''Victory of Eagles'' that, contrary to prior belief, dragons are perfectly capable of defending their country without human handlers to direct them. That being said, most dragons in service with a captain and crew tend to be extremely possessive of them: Temeraire in particular gets [[GreenEyedMonster jealous and grumpy]] when a crewman leaves him to serve with another dragon or when Laurence spends more time with Levitas.

That being said, most dragons in service with a captain and crew tend to be extremely possessive of them: Temeraire in particular gets [[GreenEyedMonster jealous and grumpy]] when a crewman leaves him to serve with another dragon or when Laurence spends more time with Levitas. Laurence at one point notes that being a captain is as much like owning a dragon as it is like being owned ''by'' one.
** Iskierka, a particularly strong-willed dragon, has a habit of domineering her captain, Granby. It starts with making him dress up in unbelievably gaudy and expensive outfits to show off how many prizes she's taken during the war, and progresses to her promising his hand to the Sapa Inca without his knowledge or consent, just so she can say her captain is married to an empress.
