* A major overarching arc of the first two seasons of the Johto era of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' revolved around a Snubbull who ran away from home to escape a life of pampering. She ended up sticking around Team Rocket because, for some reason, she liked biting Meowth's tail. Her trainer, Madame Muchmoney, eventually got her back (after she evolved into a Granbull) by promising she wouldn't be spoiled anymore.

%%* ''Animal, Come Back Animal'' from ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'' fits here.
* The trope namer and trope maker is the book ''Lassie Come-Home'' -- note the punctuation -- though, unlike most examples, Lassie doesn't get lost or abandoned; she's intentionally sold by an owner who can't afford to keep her anymore (and also can't afford to not gain the fifteen guineas a local duke has offered for her), much to the emotional devastation of his son. But she escapes anyway. Multiple times, in fact, before finally being taken to a dog show in Scotland. Where she escapes again, this time making the epic journey that inspired countless imitators. The duke's servant even accuses them of running a scam, training her to escape so they can sell her again to someone else: "I know all about yer and yer come-home dogs." [[Film/LassieComeHome The film adaptation]] altered the punctuation in a way that fits the trope as commonly understood far better than the actual plot, though even this could be read as a description ("Lassie, who has come home") rather than a command, as the TitleDrop at the end suggests.

%%* The original story ''Lassie Come-Home'' (1938) by Eric Knight was adapted into the beloved 1943 film ''Film/LassieComeHome'', which is almost certainly the TropeNamer, and probably the TropeCodifier as well.
