Purpled was napping under the tree as usual, Dogchamp on his lap, resting, but not sleeping. Actually, Dogchamp was very alert, there was a presence nearby that made him tense up and sense danger, not only to himself but also to His Boy.
As the person revealed themself to be Quackity, Dogchamp lifted his head up to look at Quackity's stance.
Guarded. Even ready to attack.
Dogchamp slowly got up and growled lowly at Quackity's direction: a warning. No one was going to hurt His Boy, not on his watch.
Contrary to popular belief, Dogchamp is one of the smartest pets on the SMP, never dying nor ever trying to attack His Boy even if His Boy accidentally hit him (Purpled made sure to then apologise and give him extra snacks). To be frank, some wouldn't even consider Dogchamp an actual dog... He clearly would be one, if for the fact that Dogchamp is just a possible eldritch horror who got attached to a human.
Listen, Dogchamp (or as then known as Gluyurb) didn't expect any of this to happen. He saw a small child wandering into the forest and as it approached it further, Gluyurb was grinning further and further, its sharp teeth growing sharper, ready to attack the 6 year old with an alien plushie and a clearly oversized purple hoodie.
The boy should have known better not to mess with the creatures of the forest...
And as the boy approached, Gluyurb made itself taller and bigger and even more threatning until-
Small hands met its oversized form.
"Up! Pup! Big Pup!" The boy smiled, as he pointed at the being before him, slightly bouncing in excitement at seeing what he assumed was just a big dog.
"What? You mere mortal, you cannot claim I am such a simple tamed being just to please your weird wants. You stupid child, I can hurt you and bring such agony upon y-" The monologue was cut short as the boy just started giggling and started to pet the thing.
" I-I-... Child, stop this isn't supposed to be-"
"Puppy!" The child smiled and continued to pet, and Gluyurb slowly returned his form to its usual state, and it quickly tuened to grab the child by the armpits and hoisting it up.
"You are so insistant, you are being annoying. I am annoyed, you can just leave me alone now, I'll hunt something else just-" And as the thing continued on the boy smiled, a wide grin and he hugged one of the arms, giggling.
"Puppy raised me up! You're such a nice puppy! I'll name you Dogchamp." The boy said as he looked proudly and full of fondness and joy at the horrific creature before him.
But all he saw was something to love.
Gluyurb sighed and maybe decided that maybe it *could* feel loved. Maybe it deserved it.
It let the boy down and soon took the form of an adult dog, not menacing but not too cute. Dogchamp licked His Boy's face and His Boy let out the most precious laugh, and soon he followed His Boy.
Dogchamp missed how His Boy wouldn't laugh as much anymore, and one of the causes may just be the man in front of him: Quackity.
Quackity was approaching slowly and as he was about to wake up His Boy, Dogchamp growled once more and he jumped at him. Maybe it wasn't going to harm His Boy, but he didn't finish his nap and Dogchamp won't let anyone interrupt him.
"Ah! Stupid dog, get off! -" Quackity cried out as he tried to get Dogchamp off of him, and once he did, Dogchamp let his form go and terror filled Quackity's eyes.
"Oh MY FUCKING GOD-" Quackity started running away as soon as possible, leaving behind one of his shoes, which Dogchamp made sure to absorb so His Boy didn't have to worry.
Speaking of His Boy: "... Hm? Dogchamp?" Purpled slurred, rubbing at his eyes, Dogchamp quickly turned into his dog form and ran to Purpled to lick at his face and try to wiggle his way onto His Boy's lap once more so he could sleep a bit more.
"Ah, good boy... Good boy..." Purpled mumbled and smiled, closing his eyes once more and falling asleep once more.
Dogchamp was so happy to have met His Boy.
