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.
