Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewolves]] that [[AllAnimalsAreDogs act more like dogs]].
* '''Straight''': [[WerewolfThemeNaming Luna]] when in wolf form has a tendency to act more like a pet dog. She does actions such as playing fetch, receiving belly rubs from her human friends, [[DogsHateSquirrels chasing squirrels]], and [[ToiletDrinkingDogGag drinking from the toilet]].
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Luna even looks more like a dog than a wolf.
** Kevin happens upon a werewolf pack, and manages to make peace with all of them by playing with them like he'd play with a dog.
** Luna acts like a dog all the time, even when not in werewolf form.
** Even though Luna is clearly a werewolf, she's [[CallASmeerpARabbit always called a dog anyway]].
* '''Downplayed''':
** Luna occasionally makes vocalizations more common to dogs than wolves, such as barking and whimpering.
** Luna doesn't necessarily act like a domestic dog, [[AllAnimalsAreDomesticated but is still much more docile than usual depictions of werewolves]].
** Luna only acts like a domestic dog when in a tamer mood. She's ordinarily [[SavageWolves very dangerous]].
* '''Justified''':
** Luna is a were''dog'', not a were''wolf'' - of course she'd act like a domesticated pet.
** [[WonderfulWerewolf Werewolves don't have to be evil in this setting]].
* '''Inverted''': Werewolves act like cats.
* '''Subverted''': Luna starts wagging her tail when she sees Kevin, but then suddenly she kills him.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...And then she plays fetch with his assorted body parts.
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''':
** Werewolves don't act like dogs.
** There are no werewolves in the setting.
* '''Enforced''':
** The creators wanted to introduce a werewolf to the story, [[SmallReferencePools but didn't know anything about how wolves act]] and didn't want the werewolf to be more of a monster, so they had the werewolf act like a dog instead.
** RuleOfFunny, in a lot of cases.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
* '''Played for Horror''': The werewolf acts like a dog... [[BewareOfViciousDog a rabid dog]].
