[Somehow the camera turns on, but it’s filled with condensation. Enthusiastic sniffing can be heard as the camera focuses on a dog’s big black nose.]

Hi There! My name is Dug.

[The golden retriever sits back far enough now so that he can be fully seen. A collar with a red dot blinks as he speaks]

I am looking for a new Alpha or Master.

I am a good dog. Yes. I will love you.

[Time to see how much of a good boy he really is]

"Oh? Hmm...sit!"

[He's delighted with the talking dog, naturally; time to see if it could do tricks from afar. He'd run through the usual: shake, roll over, etc.]

[Dug immediately sits! He didn't know where the command came from, but when someone tells him to sit, he sits like a good boy]

Ah, you're trained! How wonderful. How on earth are you speaking, anyway? Even my pets can only manage pantomime!

[enchantressofore]

Dug? Uhm... Good to meet you.

[ Talking to humanoid cats is one thing, an outright dog actually speaking is a new one to her. ]

Do you truly not have a place to stay here?

[ Please don't say you don't, she can't stand the thought of you alone and out in the cold... Why do you have to be so cute, Dug? ]

[Dug wags his tail happily]

My old Master, who is good and smart, made me this collar so that I may talk to you.

[iwoofyou]

I just got here. I am looking for a new Alpha or Master.

[Happily panting]

I'll say! Smart dog; I wonder if this means all of them are so intelligent. Perhaps even sentient!

Well, I'll uh, come on over and see if I can't find a good owner for you. I'm sure you'll win someone's responsible heart soon.

[enchantressofore]

[ Oh Nehra.

Homeless dog in need of a new owner. ]

I... I am sorry, I wish we could keep you, but our home is too small for another dog -- even though I am certain Sami and Ash both would love to have you as well...

Perhaps we can find someone who can help take care of you, Dug?

[orangeoutlaw]

[gaaasp] You will?

[he doesn't know what to say! It's almost the best day of his life]

Re: [Video]

[iwoofyou]

Oh, I hope so.

SQUIRREL! [Dug freezes, ears perked up and looking away from the camera. A moment passes before he goes back to happily panting]

I don't know your name but I love you.

[iwoofyou]

Oh, yes. I would love a new Alpha or Master. I love Sami and Ash and you too [even though they just met]

I am a good dog.

Re: video

[iwoofyou]

[Dug pants happily] I already love you!

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

Ah, I'm Ted. I love you too! I'll be right over.

[Transition into Action or handwave if someone else calls 'dibs'; he just wants to see him go to a good home.]

HELLO DOG I LOVE YOU DOGGY!

Re: [Video]

[iwoofyou]

Right over where?

[Dug turns in circles a few times before sticking his nose to the ground] Over here?

[He walks to a different spot] Here?

[enchantressofore]

[ ... He's melting her heart.

Noooo~ why is he so cute!?

AGH.

Adela's wincing, because she feels so bad to have to say no to such a sweet dog... ]

... How about, until we can find someone to take care of you full time, I can introduce you to Smoker, Tashigi, Sami, and Ash? We can make sure you have a place to eat and sleep until you have a new home, all right?

Hello loud man. My name is Dug and I love you!

[Action]

[youfool]

Right there is fine! Stay!

[Made it to The Bay in record time]

I'll keep an eye out for you, just to make sure there's no trouble. Not all of our masters are good enough for good dogs.

Re: video

[fukkinawesome]

My name is Wade and I love you too!

Re: [Action]

[iwoofyou]

Oh boy, you're a very kind man. I love you.

[iwoofyou]

That's lots of names to remember. But I will remember them all! I can't wait to meet my new pack.

[iwoofyou]

I love you best!

[fabnguns]

Bad dog. You are being too loud. Bad dog.

[Dug whimpers, ears lowered, brows furrowed]

[it's... it's not fair all!]

I haven't done anything. Don't just say things like that. [he can't even be mad at such a cute face. It's a face almost cuter than Luffy's. And it's a dog. A doggy doggy dog]
