#they'd be that owner/dog look alike trope

[thelastevilregal]

That genre of tiny dog with the bulging eyes and squished face and long silky coat is being so underutilized in the film industry. In movies set in modern times you immediately know the woman with the Yorkie or chihuahua in her purse is some rich bitch with no regard for anyone around her and though this seems to have been phased out somewhat, it was something of a staple in a lot of early 2000s movies as a way to immediately convey information about that type of character.

Where are all my medieval films/series with kings and queens with those stupid little leg warmer dogs? If anything they have a big cat or a wolf or maybe some type of bird of prey to convey power but nothing really screams luxury like breeding a stupid little animal whose sole purpose is to sit there and have riculously high-maintenance hair and breathing problems.
