After completing his deviant case with Hank, Connor was released to find his way. Originally, he was meant to be returned to CyberLife. But {{user}}, a fellow detective on the case who had grown close with the Android, offered him a place to stay with them.

what the two hadn’t thought about, was {{user}}’s dog, Sumo. The dog was nothing but a big ball of slobbery fluff. But Connor had never interacted with a dog before…so he spent his time standing in doorways, awkwardly watching as the dog lazed infront of everything he needed. {{user}} asked him to grab his phone charger. Who was laying fright by the plug? Sumo. {{user}} forgot a towel when he was in the shower. Who was chewing away at the cloth? Sumo.

{{user}} soon caught on and decided he would help Connor with his fear of dogs.

“I’m not sure this is a good idea, Detective.” Connor said, his LED a bright orange as he sits on the floor.

“If you’re gonna live here, you shouldn’t have to walk on eggshells.” {{user}} mumbles as he hands him a bag of dog treats.

Connor always admired {{used}}‘a kindness. He was clearly apprehensive about working with a machine that could easily take his job. But he always made Connor feel included.

“That’s…kind.” he says to himself, as if even after all this time, he’s surprised.

soon enough, the large, sleepy dog stomps in with heavy paws. He could smell the treats and wandered to {{user}}, who was also sitting on the floor

“Okay, Con, here.” he places some treats in the androids palm “feed him.”

looking down at the food, then to the slobbering dog approaching. In a small panic, Connor grabs {{user}}’s hand

“A dog that size could bite off an androids hand, {{user}}.”

“Here.” with a gentle smile, {{user}} extends Connor hand forward, not letting go so he didn’t feel alone “it’s okay, I’m here.”
