History Main / HumanPet

* The ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' novel has the (naked) main character Ulysse taken for a walk by Zira, on a leash... not to attract attention. Ulysse, as a human from Earth, is horribly embarrassed, but Zira says him that for the apes of planet Soror, it's seeing a dressed and non-leashed human that would look uncanny.
* In HisDarkMaterials, Lyra pretends at one moment that she's a dæmon (a {{Main/Familiar}} of sorts - long story) that belongs to king of bears, Iorek Byrnison. She does it to convince another bear, Iofur, that she wants to be his.

* A subset of the BDSM lifestyle, and in this case it's pretty much WhatItSaysOnTheTin. Pony play is a subset of this subset, where the submissives act like horses.

* In TheGoldenCompass, Leera pretends to be a dæmon (a {{Main/Familiar}} of sorts - long story) that belongs to king of bears Iorek Byrnison.

Overlaps with SapientPet and ThisIsMyHuman. May overlap with BondCreature or PeopleZoo. RuleThirtyFour can come into play if the other race has fetishes or some of them are into bestiality.

* Among the various Human Subspecies in ''OrionsArm'' are "pet humans" who are usually genetically engineered for lower intelligence and neoteny. For some reason they're somewhat popular among Splices.

[The words painted pictures in his head, of Alice in a gilded golden cage in the corner of his room, wearing nothing but a collar around her throat, of him and Duchess walking through the gardens, Alice trailing behind on a leash.]

* The ''Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes'' remake: One of the ape politicans buys his daughter a human girl as a pet.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Jabba the Hutt enslaves women of different species, and keeps the chained and dressed in revealing clothes next to his throne.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' (original series) episode "Stopover in a Quiet Town": A couple wakes up in an abandoned town. At the end of the episode it's revealed that they've been kidnapped by an alien giants to be pets for the giant's daughter.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' has an episode in which Beast Boy is kept as a pet. This is a kind of weird example because Beast Boy is a shapeshifter, so he can actually become an animal pet if he wants. The basic premise still fits, though.
