Pet Positive Identification. Plus Evil-Detecting Dog and Evil-Detecting Baby for villain versions.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

A character is hiding a secret from everyone else (usually like a Secret Identity), but an animal or baby catches him all the time and gives him the stink eye. In exaggerated examples, the pet tries to verbalize his knowledge. If the secretive character is a villain, he might mistreat the pet, or pretend to be nice to it when there's people around.
