'''The Issue''': Not only does OldDog have a comparatively low wick count at 105 (including this wick check), but as discussed in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16777244170A60445500&page=40#comment-991 the Chairs thread,]] the trope in its current state amounts to "old dogs exist in fiction" with no meaning being conveyed. The fact that it doesn't even have a Laconic page is suspect of this as well because it implies that the Main page also functions as the trope in a nutshell. Other tropers have suggested tightening the trope's scope to either: "the loyal old dog who waits for his master/lies down to die on his grave"; or a dog or other pet getting on in years and not moving about as much as they used to, if at all.

During the egg fight between Cole and Anthony, the dog just lay in the street and hardly paid attention to the event unfolding in front of him.

'''The Issue''': Not only does OldDog have a comparatively low wick count at 104, but as discussed in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16777244170A60445500&page=40#comment-991 the Chairs thread,]] the trope in its current state amounts to "old dogs exist in fiction" with no meaning being conveyed. The fact that it doesn't even have a Laconic page is suspect of this as well because it implies that the Main page also functions as the trope in a nutshell. Other tropers have suggested tightening the trope's scope to either: "the loyal old dog who waits for his master/lies down to die on his grave"; or a dog or other pet getting on in years and not moving about as much as they used to, if at all.

Due to the Chairs nature of the trope, I hypothesise that most of the examples I find in this wick check will be of the zero-context variety.
