Game Freak has always drawn inspiration from real-life animate or inanimate objects. Dog Pokemon are a great example of this, and it is no surprise that players have gotten attached to them over time. Apart from them, the Pokedex is filled with creatures based on cats, dragons, monkeys, and more.
The current Pokedex has 38 Dog Pokemon, which have been added across the generations. We chose ones that have canine features, including foxes, for example.

That, along with his love for the medium which he believes to be the pinnacle of storytelling, led him to become a writer in the genre.
