Animals can be the Victim 
- Animal cruelty
- Identifying the remains of a lost pet
- Theft of an animal
Animals can be the Perpetrator
- Identification of an animal involved in an attack on a person or other animal

Animals can be the Witness
- Animal DNA can link a suspect with a crime scene or victim. Transfer of DNA from hair, saliva, blood, urine, or feces can occur during the commission of a crime—from the victim's pet to the suspect or crime scene, and from the suspect's pet to the victim or crime scene.
