adrien gets a failed service dog, a chaotic good boy golden retirever that plagg secretly loves. nino adopts a german sheperd that was a failed police dog. alya 100% has a beagle. marinettes family has a fat, lazy grey tabby cat, who used to mouse but now does absolutely nothing. tikki says she reminds her of plagg and will Nap with her. bonus: the animals all know all their secret identities and they find themselves frequently ward off attempts by their pets to reveal them to one another
OMG like Nino G-Shep always brings Adrien his toys cause he will indulge him with fetch longer than most, and he keeps trotting up to Cat Noir with his favorite toy and Cat’s sweating like “WOW JEEZE YOUR DOG SURE IS FRIENDLY. GO ON NOW GO AWAY” and hes like desperatly trying to shoo it but the G-Sheps tail is just wagging and Ninos slowly getting suspicious.
I love Nino and Adrien having failed trained dogs cause it implies that they were either too excitable, disobiedient or distracted to do their jobs. I like to think that they still have habits and things though from their training schools. So when something sketchy happens near Nino his dog posts up, rigid and alert, guarding against approch, and he’ll guard the ‘territory’ of Ninos room and stand guard when he sleeping (which nino will never admit but helps him sleep so much better sometimes)
and sometimes when things just get to be too much and Adrien is trying so hard to keep it together at a photo shoot or something, hes just angry and overwhelmed, he’ll feel his dog gently pulling at his sleeve. hes gentle but insistent, forcing adrien to sit down until the dog can pull up into his lap and just lay his body weight on him till adrien calms down.
