| - A boy and his pet are nearly inseparable, until the pet goes missing. For some reason, a character's pet will wander away from home, get kidnapped, or get himself lost some other way. This leads to two seperate storylines. On one side, the pet is incredibly lost, scared, and desperately trying to get home. The second story will involve the humans dealing with the loss of their pet, either by feeling miserable or by actively searching for them. In the end, the two parties will eventually reunite, often leading to a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming and maybe even An Aesop or two.

The human equivalent of this is Theres No Place Like Home. The Trope Namer is, of course, Tropey the Wonder Dog. Examples of Tropey Come Home include:
