Puppies. So cute and adorable. You just want to love them, pet them, just cuddle up to them, and let them lick the frown off your face. For this reason, puppies and other forms of dogs are likely to show up in fiction, just because they make everything better. Heck, there's a reason PetTheDog and KickTheDog have "dog" in the name, since doing nice or bad things to them sets such a strong tone for the character doing those.

-->-- '''{{Okamiden}} review'''

* Chibiterasu in ''{{Okamiden}}'' is the game's, scion of the mighty goddess of the sun that slew the personification of evil in the original {{Okami}}. Also a wolf puppy. Even the ''other characters'' succumb to CutenessProximity.

Compare EverythingsCuterWithKittens, CunningLikeAFox, FunSize, CanisMajor, BigFriendlyDog, CanineCompanion, and note that one person's precious little pup is another's MisterMuffykins. If the puppies distract from another situation, then a CutenessProximity situation has occured.

* YouTube personality {{Tobuscus}} has a video clip series called "Cute Win Fail". Needless to say, the "Cute" segment (and occasionally "Win") has a disproportionately high number of dogs doing absurdly cute things, with babies and [[EverythingsCuterWithKittens cats]] as the other favorites.
