2. Krypto
(Superman, DC Comics)
Krypto the Superdog rules so hard. He’s a dog in a cape who flies around shooting lasers from his eyes and fighting crime. If you can’t love that, we have very different views on life.
Krypto is a Kryptonian dog who made it to earth in one of a myriad of ways, depending on the continuity. In some, he’s the test subject for Kal-El’s rocket, in others he’s specially chosen to accompany Kal and, in the New 52, he’s trapped in the phantom zone. Over time, Krypto has become an integral part of the Superman family.
For story recommendations, I’d hit up Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow or Action Comics #13 (2011). Plus, Krypto’s use in the Geoff Johns/Francis Manapul Superboy arc is note-perfect and adorable.
I love dogs. I have two of them, in fact, and Krypto is the ultimate man’s best friend. He’s Superman’s best friend, if you will.
I love silver age Superman comics, so it would have been easy to populate this list entirely with the likes of Streaky, Beppo, and Comet, but if I’m picking one super pet to take a place on the list, it’s gotta be Krypto.
