On the Inside Sam Is A Papillon

So colourofsaying and I were talking, as we do, about fictional characters' pets and their names, and somehow the conversation turned in this direction:

colourofsaying: According to actor Misha Collins, the wardrobe of the character Castiel on the TV show Supernatural is based on that of John Constantine.
colourofsaying: Which makes one wonder - what sort of dog is Misha Collins?
masterofmidgets: ...huh
masterofmidgetsr: is he a big dog or a little dog?
colourofsaying: or Castiel

SO I OFFER EVIDENCE FOR OUR CONCLUSIONS:

( pictorial evidence of a canine nature )

I rest my case.
