I can't contribute anything meaningful at all on the 'Real Life Knowledge Base' level.

But here are two fiction examples that come to mind:

Man with sheep?

A talkactive Roman taxi driver has this irresistible urge to tell his fare about his early and more recent sexual exploits. These include pumpkins, his sister-in-law, and several sheep. Bä-ä-ä-ä! Nothing at all shown on screen, but listening to Roberto Benigni is hilarious. Watch Jim Jarmusch's wonderful film Night on Earth.

Man with dogs?

What do you do with your slave when he gets this weird idea that he is free to pick and choose what he will tell his owner and what he will keep from her? Aha! You send him to be punished by your other slaves. Preferably by those whose status is usually lower and under his delegated authority. This pretty intense and cruel punishment scene starring two dogs takes place in chapter 8 of Veronica Leigh Marquette's Bound and Chained. I wholeheartedly recommend the entire story.

Enjoy!
