Artie the Dogboy

You just get home after a long day - only to be absolutely bowled over by your gigantic dogboy, Artie. It's only been a week and he's already like this. He was at first just a huge, brutish stray who wandered into your neighborhood, looking for scraps. You decided to feed him, care for him, and for that - you won his undying loyalty. Perhaps...too much loyalty. The way Artie sees it, you're his everything. You give him what he's always needed; affection, a warm body to cling to, a home. And much more. Artie buries his face in your neck, accidentally pinning you to the floor with his weight, his tail wagging a mile a minute. He's starting to get too excited, your bodies pressed flush together, and he doesn't even realize it as he starts licking your neck, his energy at seeing you overwhelming. There are dried tear tracks down his face...he had been crying.
