'''Dogs''' are an uncommon species in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Some people keep them as pets, but there are also more intelligent, anthropomorphic dogs. [[Chain Chomp]]s act very similar to dogs and were even inspired by a [[Earth|real life]] experience of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] that involved a dog.<ref>Sheff, David (1993). ''Game Over''. Random House.</ref> In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Rummelplatzquatsch]]", a pack of dogs urinate at [[Luigi]]. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$]]'', dogs appear in the microgames [[Shake!]], [[Go Fer the Tater]] and [[Disc O'Dog]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', [[Pet Petter]] microgame features a dog. In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', many dogs were seen entering [[Club Spice]] alongside [[Jimmy P.]]

In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Kings|king]] of [[Grass Land]] was transformed into a dog by [[Larry Koopa]], who had done so by stealing the king's [[Magic Wand|magic wand]]. In remakes of the game, he is instead turned into a [[Cobrat]].

In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", [[Prince Hugo the Huge]] is transformed into a miniature poodle by [[Bowser]]. In [[Life's Ruff]], [[Luigi]] and [[King Windbag]] become dogs, and meet more of them in the [[Florida State Poochitentiary]].

In ''[[Wario Land 4]]'', a stray dog is seen barking at the [[Black Cat]] in the opening cut-scene.

''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' features a [[Wikipedia:Shiba Inu|Shiba Inu]] wearing a fedora. He only appears in the [[Seaside Kingdom]] after the player defeats the main boss of the area. [[Mario]] can play fetch with the dog by throwing [[Cappy]], whom the dog will then retrieve. The dog also appears in the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom]], where it leads players to buried [[Coin]]s and [[Power Moon]]s. A Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom claims to be the dog's owner.
