Late in the run of the 1940's Green Lantern series, Green Lantern (Alan Scott) had a dog named Streak. Sometimes the dog got the cover. After the Green Lantern series died a natural death (GL still appeared in DC's anthology series), the creators retooled the concept of the dog into the Rex the Wonder Dog series.
Now, that kind of thing is clever. Sort of like how Wolverine, at one time an animalistic character added to X-Men, ended up becoming a major character at Marvel. You gotta find those opportunities.
