lap dog
Tiny pampered pooch
A lap dog is a small dog suited to being held in one's lap—breeds like Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, or toy poodles kept primarily as companions rather than working animals.
Figuratively, a lap dog is someone who follows another obsequiously, eager to please and unwilling to challenge: The senator dismissed his opponent as the governor's lap dog.
