Just as in the ancient myth of Androcles and the Lion, a character
befriends or aids a wild creature. In a moment of need, the creature
returns the favor.
Examples:
Examples:
- Almost anything ever made by Disney.
- Futari Wa Pretty Cure, episode 6, a bear cub rescued by Nagisa stands between the girls and its demon-possessed mother long enough for them to figure out a plan.
- Road Rovers, "Where Rovers Dare". Colleen takes in an injured wolf. While the bad guys have cornered her and her all-male teammates, the wolf howls and next thing you know tons of wolves have shown up, allowing the UN to easily capture the baddies.
- Video game example: Early in the game Resident Evil 4, Leon Kennedy encounters a dog caught in a trap. If the player has him free the dog, it returns later to help Leon fight his battle against the first "El Gigante" boss by distracting the monster.
- In one episode of Azumanga Daioh, a young wild cat Sakaki had befriended in the previous episode shows up to save her from a pack of cats led by Kamineko.
