* Creator/ClementClarkeMoore: The line "It was now 11 PM, and not a creature was stirring, except for one rodent" parodies the opening couplet from the poem ''Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas'': "'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house/Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." While not set at Christmas time, it's an appropriate reference given that the story occurs in December.

* ''Literature/TheCallOfTheWild'': Blaze bizarrely has been known to pass himself off as having several improbable family origins, including being a descendant of Buck from the Creator/JackLondon novel. Echoes Rhino's behavior in ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'', who claims a similarly outlandish lineage.



* UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken: Parodied in a shout-out to the dedicatee of one of these stories. Jamal enjoys eating a bucket of Knight's Fried Chicken (a fictional product), saying that he prefers it to "that other KFC."

* Creator/WashingtonIrving: A badly hungover Mittens references the title character from short story "Literature/RipVanWinkle" when she begs off talking to Bolt so she can go back to sleep, saying "Wake me in twenty years. Rip Van Winkle, signing off."

* ''Franchise/HarryPotter'': While speaking under his breath, Bolt likens the annoying chihuahua Carmen to Remus Lupin during a full moon. Doubles as a nod to the fic's dedicatee, who writes Remus-featured stories in this fandom.

-->'''Mittens:''' Tone it down a skosh, add a tiara and a tutu, and you might win first prize in "RuPaul’s Drag Race." If they had a canine competition, that is.
