Dingo",

Hm.  For some reason, that reminds me of Jack Lovejoy's "The Hunters".
Not so much pets, as hunting dogs, and earth a game preserve.  But since
the earth "big game" critters are so wimpy, lots of alien critters
are im****ted as well.

And then there's a YASID short story about humans being kept as pets.
One of the pets had escaped, and had gone feral in a community of
feral humans, and one of his nth-great-grandchildren (he's still alive,
becuase the alien children sometimes lend some of their life-force to
their pets, much as their parents chastize them for it, so was a hundred
and something) figure to hell with this only-living-till-you're-80 and
trying-to-scratch-out-a-lilving crap, and sets out to encounter an alien
family to get adopted by.
