I have a photograph taken in the late 19th century of a young Jicarilla Apache man named Fox Lancer holding a young fox cub, said to be his companion; I have three or four more photographs showing young Crow girls with puppy dogs.
It seems that children might be permitted to have such animals, particularly puppies, as pets, but as the children (and the dogs) grew older this kind of relationship faded away - adult dogs were not generally kept as pets, but as working animals to carry loads, as guard dogs or even to provide meat for certain feasts (the Cheyenne regularly offered a stew of puppy meat to special guests).
