Now before you all jump down my gullet. I know the show was perfection. But I would have liked to have seen a dog. Not one of those, look at you sideways at a funny time in the script dogs... and especially not one of those "go get help!" major character in the family dogs. Just an old mongrel ambling about the ship, thought of fondly by everyone. ....NOW you purists can jump down my gullet!

I was gonna say more episodes and a good network, but i suppose dogs would be a good answer, too. Did they even bring dogs to the new planets? All those people would take up a hell of a lot of room, and they might have left behind any unnecessary animals. They'd need horses to make glue, cattle for eating.

I was thinking there could be a sentamental attachment to the animal... Like the found it during the war.

I'd mentioned something similar, a long time ago, except not a dog.
It's been traditional for untold years for sailing vessels to have the ships' cat, and I am fairly sure said tradition would continue in space.
Kaylee strikes me as the type who would adopt some forlorn stray and make it the ships' cat, too.
Just imagine all the little visual moments possible, too.
Simon "Down, down!, off the counter, please!"
River "But she likes it up there.."
Or Jayne trying to mess with it, only to get totally chumped by it.
Mal fussing about it being on his ship, and then petting it when no one's looking..
Serenity definately could use a cat, yeah.

Don't you remember? They had dogs in the pilot episode. Juicy dogs, cooking on a grate. "Good Dogs". 
MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

Now that's a great idea. Seriously, would bring some more of the lived-in feel to Serenity a la Jonesy, Nostromo's cat in Alien.
