Alright, let's go through my local bestiary.
This is my alpha dog, Daphne (Daffy).

We found her wandering the streets as a puppy, hobbling on one leg trying to follow a random old lady around who was having none of it. She ran over immediately when we stopped the car and called her over, and turned out her feet worked just fine the next day. She's a bit of a bitch with other small dogs (there can only be one cute dog around and we all know who that is) but she's sweet with larger breeds and gets along pretty well with cats. She just... has some anger management issues now and then - fewer as she gets older - where she sees red if another dog gives her lip. And she's terrified of curtains and grates.
Onwards to Ruby.

Ruby is the sweetest, most submissive dog ever. She's a rescued stray as well who basically found us; one evening we were walking home, she saw us and just...followed us there. We didn't know if we wanted another dog yet (Greece has a real stray issue) so we were mulling it over, but she basically sat on our doorstep until we opened the door and let her in anyway. Somehow she got along with Daphne right away - as mentioned earlier that's not a given - which we think is because Ruby's born to be a minion. She constantly thinks she's about to die and her face is stuck in poor-me mode, but she's very pushy for petting most of the time anyway.
And finally the bitch of the family - Rusty.

Rusty's a moluccan cockatoo and she can be the cutest, sweetest thing in the universe when she's showed with attention and a complete raging screaming monster when she's not. Cursed with the intelligence of a 3-year human she will snarl "PRETTY BIRD" at you if she thinks she's slighted, but although her beak can and does frequently crush all sorts of inanimate objects that find their way into it she's never as much as nicked anyone enough to cause even slight pain. She's all talk, but that's a lot of talk.
She will also quite happily nestle under my chin for two hours while I watch a movie and barely even stir, only alternating which wing she wants to be petted under now and then.
And that's it, since I've posted pictures of Izzie (aka Cancer Cat) in the past somewhere else in these forums. She's still tickin', by the way, so who knows.
