loyal dog
Man's best friend
A loyal dog is one that remains devoted to its owner, following commands, protecting the home, and showing consistent affection.
The phrase often appears figuratively to describe a person who follows someone with unwavering, sometimes excessive devotion: He's the CEO's loyal dog, never questioning a decision.
In this sense it can be dismissive, suggesting subservience over independent judgment.
