Merely one way to do what you said. Obviously there's more to it then shown.

new /Animal(src)  //  Create a new Animal instance (default loc will place it in the mob's content initially)

Animal
   var/mob/Owner

   New(mob/O)       //  Called when /Animal is created
      Owner = O
      if(!Owner || !Owner.client) del src
      src.loc = get_step(Owner.loc, Owner.dir)  //  Place the animal ahead of the user. Check if this may place it in THE VOID.
      Owner.verbs += typesof(/Animal/Owner/verb)  //  Give the owner the owner verbs (ex: dismiss)

   Del()   //  Called when deleted
      if(Owner && Owner.client)
          Owner.verbs -= typesof(/Animal/Owner/verb)
      ..()  //  Without this, the object would never be deleted

   Owner/verb
       ....

then used the copy and past, to know whether it will be functional, but it is showing error

When people show you snippets on the forum, the point is to understand what is going on and not just copy/paste and modify & hope for the best.

Obviously it will give you indentation errors and it is not complete.

Read through, find out what is going on and ask questions about any part you do not understand.

... Just don't expect a plug-and-play snippet on the forum.
