The Mister and I currently have two pet dogs who, although not fictional, are named for fictional individuals: Mrs. Mollie Weasley and Frigga. (Mollie's spelled differently on purpose ... I don't know what I was thinking.)
We're pretty content with just having the two of them right now—and our landlords already had to be talked into letting us rent with them both—but it was fun to think about which other pets I'd like to have if we could have more! And, you know, they were real ...
Five Fictional Pets I'd Like to Adopt
5 | Mogget, The Abhorsen series
Although he's only a cat in shape—and can be very dangerous when not confined in that form—Mogget is a hilarious sidekick, always ready with a sassy retort. He also isn't as horrible as he likes to think, and grows an eventual soft(ish) side.
4 | Nymeria, A Song of Ice and Fire series
Having a dog the size of a small horse would be—to put it plainly—awesome. I only read the first few books in the series, but Nymeria was always my favorite, in part because Arya was my favorite, and her Direwolf was obviously the best. And the prettiest.
3 | Pascal, Tangled
Disney is chock-full of awesome pet characters, but none made me smile more than Pascal. He's not only adorable, but also supremely loyal. Plus, he could change colors to coordinate with my outfits!
2 | Hedwig, Harry Potter
I like to pretend that a certain part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows didn't happen, and Harry found Hedwig a study boyfriend owl with whom she had many babies who all grew up to be nearly as awesome as she.
1 | Toothless, How to Train Your Dragon
Having a pet who is also a best friend is the best kind to have. If they're able to protect you, are a total badass, and can fly you through the clouds, well that's just a bonus. A really fantastic bonus.
