Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week's topic is: Top Ten Favorite Animal Companions (submitted by P.S. I Love Books)

*in no particular order
**this took a lot of research and digging through old reviews since I couldn't think of many off the top of my head!

10. BIS THE GARGOYLE (Allie Beckstrom Series)--I remember Bis being a cute little gargoyle who was just lots of fun! I can't remember much else about the guy or when he first appears in this long ago UF series, I just remember loving him!
9. MADOX THE FOX (Fire & Flood)--I think this was a fox, I forgot to make a note of it! I remember him being an animal companion as well...but again, fuzzy memory.
8. KIKI THE HORSE (Study Chronicles)--Kiki was Yelena's horse and she had a psychic connection with her! Kiki was fun and sweet. A very caring horse...who loved apples.

7. OBERON THE IRISH WOLFHOUND (Iron Druid Chronicles)--Oberon was the best doggy sidekick ever! He could talk to Atticus and says exactly what you'd expect from a dog!
6. BIS THE GARGOYLE (The Hollows)--yes another gargoyle, because gargoyles are awesome!
5. GUSTAVE THE GOAT (The Tales of Pell)--Gustave reminds me a lot of Donkey from Shrek. Just a wise-cracking goat along for the trip! Lol.

4. ANDARA THE DRAGON (Fourth Wing)--I know, I really ought to get caught up in this series and endure the cliffhanger. I'm working on it. Lol. Andara was fun and feisty little dragon when we first meet her so I really need to get caught up and see how she's doing now! Lol.
3. UMBRA THE FOX (Enchantra)--Umbra was a sweet little fox and Rowin's companion! 
2. GRIMALKIN THE CAIT SITH (Iron Fey Chronicles)--the first companion I thought of! Lol. I loved this smarta$$ fae!

1. MAXIMUS THE HORSE (Tangled)--I haven't read this one yet or have it in my queue, but Margaret was here earlier this year and briefly mentioned this release and she did say Maximus would be there and I LOVE THAT HORSE! He cracked me up in Tangled because his attitude soooo reminded me of our dog, who just happened to be a white Husky with attitude, so they were brothers from other mothers! Lol.
