canine companion
Furry household friend
A canine companion is a dog kept for companionship rather than work or sport.
The phrase emphasizes the emotional bond between human and animal: Service dogs often become beloved canine companions as well as helpers.
It appears frequently in pet-friendly housing policies, veterinary contexts, and among dog enthusiasts who find "pet" too diminishing.
