Basic Trope: Dogs, whether it's to do with urinating or not, love fire hydrants.
- Straight: Fido the dog enjoys peeing on, sleeping under, sniffing, and drinking from, fire hydrants.
- Exaggerated: Fido worships fire hydrants like gods.
- Downplayed: Fido pees on fire hydrants, but doesn't seem to like them more than that.
- Justified: Fire hydrants are very good things as far as dogs are concerned: they make shade, produce water and are good for marking one's territory on.
- Inverted: Fido hates fire hydrants.
- Subverted: Fido stops liking fire hydrants.
- Double Subverted: He just doesn't like that one fire hydrant.
- Parodied:
- Fido imagines Heaven as having lots of fire hydrants.
- Fido is portrayed as an Abhorrent Admirer toward an anthropomorphic fire hydrant.
- Zig Zagged: Fido likes some fire hydrants but not others.
- Averted:
- Fido doesn't like fire hydrants, or there are no fire hydrants or dogs in the work.
- Fido pees on fire hydrants, but does not like them: that would be like a human liking a urinal.
- Enforced: The creators want to make jokes involving dogs, with the stereotype of dogs being fond of fire hydrants being one joke they just have to use at some opportunity.
- Lampshaded: "Why do you like fire hydrants so much, Fido?"
- Invoked: Bob gives Fido a drink from a fire hydrant on a very hot day, while also giving him a place to sleep, sniff and pee.
- Exploited: The Big Bad distracts Fido with a fire hydrant.
- Defied: "Just because I'm a dog doesn't mean I have to be obsessed with fire hydrants. I shall mark my territory elsewhere!"
- Discussed: "Why does Fido love fire hydrants so much?" "Well, they need somewhere to mark their territory, and besides you can drink from them."
- Conversed: "Dogs in fiction love fire hydrants more than real dogs, I think."
- Implied: Fido is seen asleep, dreaming about a fire hydrant, and he looks happy.
- Played for Laughs: Fido writes a valentine: "I love you more than fire hydrants."
