Pets in literature

Name a strong character in literature that owns a pet. I can't.

Assuming I'm not being an illiterate retard who needs to read more, why do you think this is the case? Why do few characters have pets even though they are a major part of many of our lives?

Because there are more important things to write about than cats drinking milk and dogs eating shit

Odysseus

makes sense.

Odysseus?

Harry Potter

nah fuck you. Argus whilst important in demonising the suitors and emphasising Odysseus's separation from his old life, Argus is not a major point or part of Odysseus's characterisation/the Odyssey as a whole.

Boy that was not the question at all.

Who said that he was? The op said just "Name a strong character in literature that owns a pet".

OP here.

Pretty much decided I'm dumb. We're on a roll of pets, many in books i've read but have forgotten about.

As a classics student I'm 100% sure im gonna fail for completely forgetting Argus...

Lt. Glahn from Pan... I guess he's strong? Not sure what you mean with that word

Good on you

Literature isn't "important".

>We're on a roll of pets

Who "we"?

Read the Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe.

Gilfe is the GOAT pet.

towelin's self-insert has like a bear or like a dolphin, or perhaps a moose.
He got to meet the president.

Sancho Panza's Dapple? oh you said strong, Don Quixote's Rozinante?
