French term or phrase: leur pendant domestique
This puzzles me - does it mean 'streak'?

Les requins sont assurément les animaux qui incarnent le plus largement la dangerosité, en réunissant sous leur emblème toute l’étrangeté et l’hostilité du milieu marin.
Est-ce parce que, contrairement aux grands félins, ils n’ont pas leur pendant domestique rassurant, ou parce qu’ils ont une fâcheuse tendance à vouloir conserver leur liberté là où nous souhaitons désormais exercer la nôtre ? Pourtant, les statistiques sont formelles. Les requins sont de très loin battus par nombre d’autres espèces plus discrètes.

Breeds are therefore the domestic equivalent of wild animal subspecies
