Lightroom Classic Multiple Keyword Automated

I'm thinking the answer to my question is NO, but figured I'd ask it anyway. I cannot find any info on this via searches. I am not a professional, I use LR to catalog and post-process family photos.

I have four major categories of keywords, with hierarchies within each.

People
Places
Event
Subject

Within PEOPLE, I have FAMILY MEMBERS, and within FAMILY MEMBERS I have included family dogs as well.
Within SUBJECT, I have ANIMALS, and within ANIMALS I have "Dogs".

When keywording after import, when selecting "Fido" from the PEOPLE category, it would be helpful if LR would automatically add the keyword "Dogs".
I'm assuming there is no way to map one keyword to another to invoke both?

Thank you.

There's no automatic way to do that, unfortunately. You could define a smart collection that looks for FAMILY MEMBERS needing the Dogs keyword:

Note the use of "contains words", rather than "contains" or "doesn't contain". "contains words" makes it less likely you'll get false matches with other keywords. Also note that the parent keywords are included as well, also to make it less likely you'll get false matches.

As I suspected. Thank you for the advice. Cheers.
