The pet animals of some of the human characters of Toy Story.

Scud
Appearances: Toy Story
Scud is the Phillips family's pet dog. He is a male bull terrier.
- Beware of Vicious Dog: Only vicious from the toys' perspective, since he tears them up. With humans he seems relatively decent, particularly with Sid. (Then again, he did knock Hannah over like a bowling pin. Stupid dog indeed.)
- Dogs Are Dumb: He does not appear to be a very clever dog, running headlong into danger while single-mindedly chasing the toys (nearly getting himself run over), and bowling over Hannah trying to catch one.
- Dog Stereotype: Fits the "vicious bull terrier" stereotype.
- Dragon Their Feet: While not the last obstacle Buzz and Woody have to overcome, he is the last actual enemy they contend with, going after them even after Sid's been dealt with. He ends up being surrounded by stopped cars and unable to continue his chase.
- The Dreaded:
- Toys dread him as much as they dread Sid.
- Sid's father is shown to be this to Scud himself. The dog is terrified of going anywhere near him.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Like his owner he gets his comeuppance for terrorizing toys when Hannah locks him out of the house after he knocked her over while chasing after one of the mutant toys and he gets even more karma when he's trapped in traffic while chasing after Buzz and Woody.
- Meaningful Name: Named after a ballistic missile, and just as fast-moving and destructive towards the toys.
- Morality Pet: Young Sid treated him nicely and cared for him.
- Right-Hand Attack Dog: He is Sid's attack dog who helps him to torture toys for fun by chewing them up.
- Super-Persistent Predator: The only thing that will stop him from going after toys is a closed door or Sid's father. Neither are there to stop him when Woody and Buzz make their escape and try to reach the moving truck...
- Too Dumb to Live: He's so determined to catch the toys that, near the end of the movie, he runs headfirst into traffic and just barely avoids being run over.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out what became of him after he wound up trapped inside a circle of crashed cars, although it's not like he'll be missed given the amount of trouble he caused for Woody, Buzz, and Sid's toys.
Buster
Appearances: Toy Story (barking only) | Toy Story 2 | Toy Story 3
Buster is a male dachshund and the Davis family's pet dog. He is aware that the toys can come to life, and doesn't seem to have any problem with it.
- Art Evolution: His fur is much more detailed in the third film.
- Big Friendly Dog: At least he is big from the toys' perspective.
- Canine Companion: Both to Andy and to Woody. Amusingly, he obeys Woody's orders but not Andy's.
- Formerly Fit: The ten-year time skip in 3 wasn't kind to Buster, as he had grown considerably weaker from aging, though he still remains nice to the toys.
- Good Counterpart: To Scud.
- Horse of a Different Color: Woody uses him as a mount.
- Old Dog: In the third film. He is slower, fatter, has a gray muzzle, and is too sluggish to carry Woody around like he did as a puppy.
- Pets as a Present: He was given to Andy as a Christmas Present at the end of the first movie.
- The Unintelligible: Well, he is a dog who barks. That being said, Slinky does understand him, likely due to being, well, a toy dog.
Mr. Jones
Voiced by: Dee Bradley Baker
Appearances: Toy Story of Terror
Ron Tompkins' pet iguana.
- All Animals Are Dogs: Mr. Jones the iguana has a collar and acts like a dog.
- The Dragon: To Ron, and quite literally since he is an iguana. However, he abandons this status upon defecting from Ron.
- Heel–Face Turn: What a life of paradise can do for a character.
- Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Played with. He is definitely the villain to the toys, but his behavior is more dog-like than reptilian, and clearly has no malicious intent to humans. It is later averted after his Heel–Face Turn.
Dragon
Appearances: Toy Story 4 | Forky Asks a Question
The pet cat of Margaret, owner of the antique shop.
- Art Evolution: Not himself per se, but his rendition compared to previous non-toy animals in the franchise. He looks downright photorealistic. Comparing him to Scud shows how much technical progress has been accomplished by Pixar in 25 years.
- Cats Are Mean: Plays this straight from the toys' perspective. As far as the humans see things, he is just a regular cat who likes to play.
- A Dog Named "Cat": It's a cat named "Dragon".
- The Dreaded: Toys dread him. There's no wonder why after he tears a plush to shreds.
- Expy: Dragon is basically the cat version of Scud: both being highly aggressive pets that are feared by toys.
- Shout-Out: His name may or may not be an homage to Dragon the cat from The Secret of NIMH.
- Swallowed Whole: While he's shown to enjoy shredding bigger toys, smaller toys seem to have it easier due to his penchant for this.
- In Toy Story 4, he swallows Giggles McDimples whole and alive, leaving her in his stomach for the rest of the chase scene. Once it ends and he runs into a dumpster, he regurgitates her and runs off.
- In Forky Asks a Question, Getting Eaten Is Harmless is played entirely straight. There is no danger to a toy eaten by him, and Rib Tickles and Forky willingly feed themselves to him for the experience, despite finding it disgusting.
