* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': After Bolt goes to the veterinarian to have a bite on his nose treated in "The Service Dog," he is depicted as wearing a cone around his neck during the subsequent TV courtroom show trial so he doesn't reopen the wounds.

Carmen explodes in yapping fury, helping disprove her owner's contention that Carmen couldn't have instigated the attack.
