Number twenty-six shows them attacking and their collars are clearly visible. Here's a cropped and resized version:

Wikipedia says hyenas are genetically closer to felines than canines.
How about something of Sykes and his dobermans?
(On a sidenote, how distinct is this from Angry Guard Dog?)

The trope doesn't actually require a canine. That being said, it seems completely unrelated.
I see the Awesomeness.
If it doesn't require actual canines, I'm inclined to prefer something that isn't a dog over something that is (all else being equal).

Fight smart, not fair.

If it doesn't require canines, it really ought to be renamed.

The name is meant to contrast with the trope Right-Hand Cat, which also is not meant to be taken literally. Both are named after the most iconic examples. But I digress; what does everybody think of the pictures posted so far?
@Deboss Unfortunately, Ace the bat-hound isn't an example - this trope is about a villain's pet.

Then the trope really needs renaming.
For now, I'd like to think Sykes and his dobermans do the trick, even if they're literally of dogs; it's the name, more than the pic, that gives the wrong first impression. (I probably might not have assumed the current pic to be a dog if not for the trope name.)

A trope is not renamed unless there is evidence of widespread misuse; that is not the case as far as I can tell by looking at the usage counts. Conveniently (or not), literal interpretations of the trope name are usually also legitimate examples, such as the Oliver And Company example you posted.
Which does seem to be the clearest one so far; any others?

It is hard to "prove" one way or another, but it makes sense simply from looking at the name of this trope, and looking at the way poor naming results in users getting the wrong impressions about many other tropes.

Bump...

Is there any final consensus on this? There are several legitimate proposals.

Crowner sounds good.

Hi
Blank crowner's hooked; start the dogpile.
Hi
Bump for votes...right now Sykes' dogs are the only one in the green.
Hi
Aaaand we're done. The new pic is up, potholed, and tagged; locking up.
Crown Description:
Right Hand Attack Dog
As much as I like Wakfu, the current picture is meaningless without context. Anyone have any other suggestions?
If we're staying within the same series, here's the same Right-Hand Attack Dog with his master.
Another good example would be The Joker's pair of hyenas
, though I'm not if there are any pictures that show them attacking rather than being a Right-Hand Cat substitute.
