Wanta and Lucy’s Puppy are both on the same show, and they share some resemblances. However, their breed is unrecognized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanta is often seen with the character Mayu, and while some viewers may consider Wanta Mayu’s pet, the latter disagrees with that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He’s not really my pet…but since we’re always together…we’re friends.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayu suffered under the tyranny of abusive parents, and after escaping she goes to a pool and is about to walk into it when Wanta comes into the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left to her fate, Mayu becomes friends with Wanta and struggles to survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They soon start staying in Maple House, and Lucy (remember her?) plays a part in their story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

47.<\/span> Alexander (from Fullmetal Alchemist)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alexander is the pet dog of the character Nina Tucker, and they soon become best friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, Alexander is the only friend Nina has. Later on, however, the protagonists Edward Elric and Alphonse soon came to the Tuckers’ home and befriend Nina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the absence of the Elrics, Nina’s father Shou Tucker joins her and Alexander together to form a “Chimera”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the Chimera gets killed by a serial killer named Scar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

48.<\/span> Tetsuya #2 (from Kuroko’s Basketball)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tetsuya #2 shares the same name with his owner, Tetsuya Kuroko. For this reason, they call him Tetsuya #2. He soon becomes the default mascot for Kuroko’s team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His breed is unstated, but it is quite clear that Tetsuya is a cute dog. His coat is black and white, and his blue eyes look like those of Kuroko. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any other dog, Tetsuya is prone to displaying behaviors like barking and urinating on the ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He develops a close bond with Tetsuya Kuroko, one that resonates throughout the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

49.<\/span> Heen (from Howl\u2019s<\/strong> Moving Castle)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that Heen is a Petit Basset Griffon Bandane, but that’s not based on any official statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That aside, Heen is an errand dog that belongs to Madame Suliman and can be lazy. His shaggy looks and long floppy ears stand out in the movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Madame Suliman later accuses Heen of being a traitor, this dog is loyal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

His many adventures in this series form a major part of it, which makes him an important character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

50.<\/span> Sadaharu (from Gintama)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve read this far, you should be used to the fact that most of these anime dogs aren’t your everyday pooches. Sadaharu is one such dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looks cute and harmless on the surface but is an Inugami (a Dog God). At least, until his former owner was forced to give him away to the Yorozuya, a shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadaharu is big with an all-white coat and a red collar. His eyes are grey, and he weighs more than 600 pounds! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He gets popular amongst anime lovers for his many disguises and is an invaluable part of the series, including stopping a cockroach invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

51.<\/span> Oda Nobunaga (from Oda Cinnamon Nobunaga)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oda Nobunaga was a warrior in his past life, a ruler even. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his death, he reincarnates into a Shiba Inu, which he doesn’t appreciate so much as he would have preferred being a Doberman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His owner in his new life is the character Ichiko Oda. Oda looks no more different than a normal Shiba Inu, with his upright triangular ears and short fur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing his appearance is a red handkerchief tied around the neck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

52.<\/span> Chikuwa (from Yuru Camp)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Chikuwa belonged to the character Ena Saitou and is a long-haired Chihuahua. Its coat is fuzzy with a fawn color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-haired Chihuahua doesn’t have adequate protection against the cold, which explains why Chikuwa hates cold weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chikuwa is not a major character in the story and doesn’t impact it in any way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He simply acts the role of a companion for one of the main characters and does a good job at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

53.<\/span> Ruth (from Mahoutsukai no Yome)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ruth is known in the series as a “familiar” and a “Church Grim”. As such, he has two entities but isn’t considered a shapeshifter. His owner is the character Chise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his dog form\u2014also called his black grim form\u2014Ruth becomes a big black dog with dark fur and red eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looks intimidating in that form. When he becomes a human, however, he looks normal except for the red eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruth was originally named Ulysses and had a former master until meeting Chise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Chise’s familiar, he shares a telepathic bond with her. He knows her feelings, thoughts, memories, and even life span. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruth is shown to be very caring and protective of Chise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

54.<\/span> An Unnamed Dog (from Gabdro Wikia)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An Unnamed Dog (really, there was no name for this dog) is thought to be either a German Shepherd or an Akita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also possible that he is a mixed breed, or perhaps still a puppy. With no concrete information, we can only guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This dog’s friendship with the character Satania began in an unlikely manner. He used to steal melon bread from Satania but soon becomes her pet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also owns a dragon that acts a lot like a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

55.<\/span> Shigure Sohma (from Fruits Basket)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shigure Sohma is, in reality, actually a human. However, the Sohma curse (a concept with a long backstory in the series) grants him the ability (or curse?) to transform into a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This happens when he’s hugged by a lady or when he comes under extreme stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His dog form is known as his “Chinese Zodiac form”, and he becomes grey-black with light green eyes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shigure is a laid-back person, sometimes reserved, and often a fun person to have around. He can also be overprotective and shows strong loyalty to the person he loves, Akito. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Shigure is not the best role model in anime. He can be selfish, manipulative, and sly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

56.<\/span> Charo (from Little Charo)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Charo is a central character in an English learning program named Little Charo. <\/em>He is owned by Shota, another character in the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together they made their way to New York, but Shota accidentally left Charo behind when going back to Japan. It was up to Charo to find his way back to his other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially geared towards a younger audience, it is also used by foreigners learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also get to see the courage and determination of the lost Charo in a city where he knows no one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

57.<\/span> Buddy (from Nichijou)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, Buddy comes off as mysterious to the viewers, more like a spiritual canine than a living one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He usually appears when the character Yuuko Aloi needs comforting, like when she lost her shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This showed a possible spiritual connection between both, hence the mystery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sandy brown dog has a lot of compassion to give, and he sometimes appears with an identical dog (Co-Buddy) if Yuuko is with someone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that both Buddy and Co-Buddy have an owner named Kiyoshi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

58.<\/span> Bow (from Bow Wow Manga)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bow is portrayed as a dog out on the streets, and one with no care in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He lives with his instincts and acts mainly out of impulse. While he does this innocently, it often ends up with him in trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bow is a Bull Terrier and started as a stray dog before living temporarily with a struggling manga artiste. Right after that, he finds himself in the family of the character Sayaka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her dad was initially opposed to the idea of adopting Bow, but he later changes his mind when Bow saves one of his gang members. Even then, he doesn’t warm up to Bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major scenes in this anime series with dogs cover the experiences of Bow while living with Sayaka and his interactions with her family, pets, and other characters in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

59.<\/span> Apo (from Space Brothers)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final dog ranked on our list (but by no means the least important) is Apo from the anime series Space Brothers.<\/em> He is a Pug dog that belongs to Hibito, a major character of the series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apo has the looks of a typical fawn Pug, with the addition of a heart-shaped spot above his left front leg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apo is a friendly, playful dog that’s highly food motivated, especially with hot dogs. He has a weakness for those. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He plays some important roles, including helping out Mutta, another character in the show. Mutta calls Apo his “good luck charm”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60.<\/span> Alex\/Freddy (from Fortune Dogs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are many dogs on this anime series that could have made this list, but Alex played a focal role in the movie; thus, he is the unanimous choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex is a French Bulldog that gets adopted by a girl named Ai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She names him Alex and they would spend their time reading from a book titled The Adventures of Freddy<\/em>, which was about a dog that set on an adventure to locate the Fortune Tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict began when Alex accidentally follows a stranger instead of Ai because they wore the same clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex changes his name to Freddy and set out to find Ai. But he first has to make an important detour. He needs to find the Fortune Tree and save it, or it would spell doom for pets all over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
