There she was, always by your side. At your command, and at your service. Obedient to the letter, loyal to the bone. A perfect pet for her mistress. But at the same time, she was much more than just a pet.

She would do anything for her mistress, for her needs, desires, or wishes, no matter how bizarre, no matter how unusual. She was the perfect creature for fulfilling them.

And all she wanted in return, was some simple love, affection, and gratitude. That is all she ever needed. Always.
