Firstly, since there is little in the way of distinction between animals, vermin, magical beasts, and, yes, elementals... I consider them for purposes of this campaign to be one type: animals. For purposes of bane/favored enemies, how much difference is there between a run-of-the-mill baboon and a baboon that shoots fire out of its bum? Elementals are simply the animals of the elemental planes.

 

Dogs

Halflings use dogs for labor and as mounts. Halfling cavalry ride them into battle.

Humans and dwarves often keep dogs as pets or train them for tasks such as hunting.

Many people the world over keep cats as pets. In the tiger clan lands, cats are considered sacred, whereas the viper clan sees them as demonic.
