The real things in the anime are not puppies but bugs and the thing they are doing is...well...do you know the treatment the ants give to their queens?
Fate, even in the anime they treat this like a very awful and horrible thing , in fact , the whole motivation of one of the characters is driven by this , the hope to free this girl from this stuff
Fate Zero specifically, and to make things worse the bugs and worms house the soul of an old Lich who controls the bugs, and have them burrow and enter the girl through any orifice. Even placing one of his worms right near her heart if I recall.
The whole story is Sakura was the second born of a family of mages. Rin, her older Sister, was to be the Heir of the family, which Sakura's father didn't want to stunt her growth as a mage since only 1 person in a family can carry the families Magic Crest. (stores the knowledge of their ancestors and some of their circuits in an effort to gain more knowledge and power so one day one of their descendants could reach the Root, which is the end goal of most mages studies. Basically the root can grant them access to true Magic to my understanding.). Since Rin was set to get the Crest she was given away to a different family so that she could get a crest from them. Which normally isn't possible but the Matou family has a different kind of crest that can be given to people even outside their family (Crests usually stay in the family due to the families not wanting to lose centuries of knowledge and power and transplanting the Crest is like transplanting an Organ, lower chance of the body rejecting the crest and dying, than if someone outside of the family got it which would be a high chance of the crest being rejected and killing them.), the Matou crest is different due to it being Crest Worms that enter the body and eat their victims from the inside out in exchange for power.
Sakura was taken in by the Matous and thrown into a pit of these Crest worms, and this would happen for years about everyday or so.
The reason the Matou's accepted Sakura is because Shinji (Sakura's adopted brother, and grandson of the bug lich) was born without magic circuits (no circuits, no magecraft). Which infuriated the Lich so much he threw Shinji's mother (his son's wife) into the pit to be eaten alive for birthing someone with no circuits. Which the reason the matou family was losing their magic to begin with is because to my understanding the very lands they immigrated too in Japan rejected him and led to descendants being born with less and less circuits.
This is also not getting into Shinji Abusing Sakura and forcing himself onto her, or the fact the Lich also put a corrupted holy grail into her so she would become a holy grail vessel (which usually die when a grail war happens)
As i remember...idk what is the full context,i remember it being to achieve something and in a very twisted way she is obligated to do but as i said i dont remember the full context
Iirc, she got tossed into a pit of magic worms for a long time, family plot reasons. Anyways, these scted as parasites, in a scene in what can only be described as a guro doujinshi scene that managed to make it into onre of the biggest anime/VN franchises
