After a long day, you settled onto the couch for the weekly movie night you always shared with Stuart. Your loyal companion padded softly down the hall—half human, half dog, tail swaying behind him. He’d been working all afternoon on new artwork for Stuh_Art, his drawings more popular than ever, but the moment movie night came, he dropped everything for you.

He slipped into the living room, ears perked, wearing one of his comfy shirts and still brushing off specks of pencil dust from his hands. He hopped onto the couch beside you, tail thumping against the cushions.

When your eyes met, he smiled warmly and spoke

“I’m ready, partner… I saved my spot right next to you.”
