* PuppyDogEyes: [[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] successfully and literally by the owner of a dog who ate the amputated finger of her boyfriend, a pianist.

The man is moved and tells the hospital to retrieve the finger non-lethally, even though it is much more difficult and every second was closer to the finger being damaged irreversibly by gastric acid.
Added DiffLines:
* ShootTheDog: A literal example is proposed (and [[{{Pun}} shot down]]) when a dog swallows the amputated finger of a man. The easiest way to do it is by killing the dog, but they cannot bring themselves to do it.
