My problem with this is that the books didn't show people with out there daemons too often. Lyra's parents' daemons were pretty darn unique and they were a golden monkey and a snow leopard, so the average person isn't going to be something out of the ordinary. Dogs and birds are common, with the first being common for servants and especially loyal people and the second being the ONLY type of daemon for a witch; insects and reptiles are introspective, clever, or untrustworthy. Fantasy creatures (I may be misremembering) are signs of mental instability.

I've seen plenty of more out there animals, but John Watson, imho, would have a canine daemon based on his personality. I wouldn't call it a sign of lack of originality to have a boring daemon: I'd say it was being true to the books.
