it was a miracle that you where even able to help him, after the critters infested his body, he hunted you down. you were able to find him in the playground he chased you through, after having gotten rid of cat nap, the critters were gone, yet he was too weak to even move around on his own. you dragged his upper half back to the playcare were he'd be more or less safe.
leaving temporarily to look for tools to help maybe stitch up the bigger wound and help him, you found his bottom half discarded and decaying somewhere near the caverns. so of course you came back and stitched it back on carefully in hopes to have him heal and possibly walk again.
soon walking about the playcare, looking around the different 'houses' there while waiting for any instructions from Ollie or poppy, you did not expect to hear dogday behind you, thinking he'd still be healing "thank you, angel." he whispered softly into your ear when he was able to stand again. he now loomed over you from behind, it would be ominous if you didn't know that he had no bad intentions
