Well this is a common case of parasite and host. The tick is the type of parasite that keeps its host alive but ticks still carry deadly diseases so the relationship is complicated, but for sure the dog is the host and the tick is the parasite, that does not intentionally kill its host in order to complete its life cycle.

Dogs flea on dogs hair?

The relationship between a dog and a flea is called parasitism. Parasitism is a relationship between an organism and a parasite in which the parasite needs the organism to live. Without host, adult fleas can only live about two weeks. An example of a close living relationship, like fleas on dogs, is the Oculotrema Hippopotami, which is a parasite that lives in most Hippopotamus' eyes and gets rid of the algae in them. Also, many birds live near Hippos and stand on their backs for a great deal of the day to rest there while catching birds, but they also eat the bugs off of the Hippo's skin.
