10 Best Star Trek Pets

Captain James T. Kirk of the starship Enterprise has had many companions over his long lifetime. From many friends he made aboard the classic Enterprise to the dozens of hot alien women he made out with, Kirk never seemed to be wanting for companionship.

Yet one of his most important companions only shows up at the end of the Starfleet icon's life. When the crew of the Enterprise-B encountered a strange Nexus, Kirk was trapped inside an idyllic paradise where he didn't age or suffer any kind of pain for almost 80 years.

Inside his paradise, Kirk was able to live out his days inside a large cabin in the woods. Kirk seemed to be living alone until Kirk's old dog Butler, who had died during the Whale probe crisis of the fourth Star Trek film, appeared before him. Butler is a Great Dane and sadly only appears briefly in the film, as many great pets in Star Trek often do.
