-->A sweet young maid in passing by, (oh, yes, oh!) saw my smile but made no reply, (a good long time ago).

* In ''Film/FouAgainstTheBank'', the wife of one of the four {{bank robber|y}}s, Freddie (Creator/AlexandraMariaLara), advises the only one of the robbers who isn't suspected by anti-bank robbery cop Elizabeth Zollner (Creator/AntjeTraue), Max (Creator/MatthiasSchweighofer), to take the pose with a cat for his profile photo on the dating app used by Zollner so the chances to hook Zollner (and make her believe someone else committed the robbery) will be greater, in addition to having him pretend that he works at a kitchen soup. It works.

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': An implied and downplayed version. The Denmark portion of the JustBeforeTheEnd DistantPrologue focuses on a man from mainland Denmark who is on a ferry to drop his cat off at his sister's place on Bornholm island before an important business meeting. His presence at the meeting gets compromised when sudden travel restrictions mean the boat won't be making its return trip. The story ends with him getting fired by his MeanBoss over the phone, and getting cheered up by the boat waitress who had previously chewed him out for his initial rude reaction to the news of the travel restriction. What is shown of their conversation includes the waitress noticing his cat and calling him cute. The Danish member of the main cast is that pair's great-grandson.

* In ''Literature/ADogsPurpose'', Wendi's boyfriend buys her a puppy on a whim in order to make her like him more. It doesn't turn out well for Bear. Like [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome many dogs bought without much thought]], Bear's owners weren't prepared for a puppy and couldn't commit to him (Wendi wasn't even ''alllowed'' to have dogs in her housing). As a result, Bear is later given to Wendi's mother and abusive step-father, where he is kept chained in the yard under the minimal conditions until his owners finally decide to throw him out onto the streets.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Joey hits it off with the stripper hired for Ross' bachelor party when she starts cooing over Joey's pet chicken and duck.

This trope is about the fact that women seem to be naturally fond of animals, and tend to show more interest in a man who has one or more. Men with a cute puppy may take the animal to a local dog park, farmer's market or outdoor cafe patio, and use the animal as an attention-grabber or conversation starter.

With online dating apps, some men pose with cute puppies in their profile photos to attract interest (however, beware of being "dogfished", which is when a person borrows cute animals for their profile photos).

* a 2019 article in ''The Guardian'' warned against the misleading dating app practice of "dogfishing", in which men pose with cute animals in their profile photos in order to woo women, except that they borrowed the animals for the snapshot. If you hope to meet that cuddly puppy in thr photo you may be disappointed, since it belongs to his neighbor.
