It is clear these dogs will go though hell and back to save their puppies, all 15 of them.

* In MetalGearSolid 4 [[spoiler:Johnny]] eventually manages to win [[spoiler:Meryl's]] heart, by saving live [[spoiler:her]] on not one but three occasions. In a scene that [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QofhJhJGBjw&feature=related has to be seen to be believed]], they hold a door against seeming endless waves of attackers while sliping new magazines into each others guns, and proposing each other for marriage.

''{{Psych}}''.
* Rya'c and Kar'yn become this in the StargateSG1 episode "Sacrifices". This trope is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and used to justify their marriage when they face opposition from Teal'c on the basis that Rya'c has chosen to fight the Goa'uld and that war has to be his priority. As Ishta points out, "A warrior is always stronger with another at his side" so being a BattleCouple will be better for both them and their cause.

* Church and Tex from RedvsBlue could qualify. It's pretty clear they both still have feelings for each other no matter how many insults they toss back and forth. Probably more feelings from Church than Tex as her emotions seems to have taken a beating during her time as a Freelancer paired with a psychotic AxeCrazy AI.

** Although with the revelations of the past season, it's more a case of her emotions taking a beating during her time as [[spoiler:an AI paired with a psychotic AxeCrazy AI]]. Just to be pedantic. :)

*** A character-specific example of this are Negi and his partner Asuna. As of chapter 252, [[spoiler:Konoka and Setsuna got into a Pactio]], which means they've pretty much become a BattleCouple. [[spoiler: Natsumi and Kotaro may be their path to become another BC.]]
