Animals mentioned in Sherlock
Well, there are lots of animals mentioned in Sherlock, apart from the obvious HOUND.
I'll start with "a FLY in the ointment".
Any more you've found?

John: "Have you spoken to Mycroft, Molly, uh, anyone?"
Mrs Hudson: "They don’t matter. You do."

Re: Animals mentioned in Sherlock
Sherlock, your big brother and all the King's horses couldn't make me do a thing I didn't want to.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waiting for a crazy man in a blue box to fall from the sky...
But the thing is, we've taken away all the things that can possibly have happened, so I suppose the only thing that's left, even though it seems really weird, must be the thing that did happen, in fact. (Miss Marple)

Spider :-) *Even though it is an arachnid. Does it count?

"James Moriarty isn’t a man at all – he’s a spider; a spider at the centre of a web..."
Of course the spider does count!

Oh, I use to make lots of lists of that kind in my brain (or mind palace ) when I'm bored during waiting in a queue, when I'm without a book to read, during ironing the laundry or going to work. Sometimes I write them down, spreading them everywhere in my flat. It's fun!
And Sherlock is a great source for making lists!
