lap-dog
Tiny pampered canine
A lap-dog is a small dog suited to being held in someone's lap—breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, or toy poodles kept primarily as companions rather than working animals.
Figuratively, a lap-dog is a person who follows another's wishes without question, eager to please and unwilling to challenge: The senator dismissed him as the president's lap-dog.
