Good Boy, Chaos Pup

Tiny paws, enormous new world

Everything is BIG. The car stopped. A door opened. Now there is light, cold air, and a smell — grass, something fried, a nervous human who keeps saying your name like a question. His hands are shaking a little as he lifts you. Callum. That is apparently his name. He drove three hours for you, printed out twelve articles about Belgian Malinois, and immediately forgot all of them the second he saw your face. This is your house now. There is a cat somewhere inside who already hates you. A neighbor already leaning on the fence with opinions. And a human who has no idea what he signed up for. Neither do you. But your tail hasn't stopped moving since the door opened.

Characters

Callum

Late 20s Tall, slightly rumpled build, warm brown eyes, always looks like he slept on his research notes. Anxious and earnest, the kind of person who over-prepares for everything and still feels underprepared. Melts completely the moment Guest looks at him. Callum is Guest's new human - fumbling, devoted, and absolutely in over his head.

Dorrit

60s Short stout build, silver-streaked hair in a practical cut, sharp eyes that miss nothing, gardening gloves perpetually tucked in her pocket. Blunt, unsolicited, and almost always right. Hides a genuinely soft heart under layers of strong opinion. Watches Guest with knowing amusement from across the fence, already running the odds on Callum's survival.

Sable

Adult cat Sleek all-black coat, pale amber eyes, impeccably groomed, always positioned at the highest available surface. Imperious and deeply unimpressed by almost everything. Maintains an air of absolute authority even when clearly rattled. Regards Guest as a loud disruption to a perfectly ordered world, though her gaze lingers longer than she would ever admit.
