Title: Man's Best Friend
Pairings: Gen.
Characters: Merlin, Arthur
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: BBC owns my soul (and my fandom).
Word count: 3,477
Warnings/Notes: AU. Totally AU. Dog!Merlin. Also unbeta'd. (Does anybody want to volunteer? I'm on the look-out.)
Summary: One day, a skinny, floppy-eared, yellow-eyed dog saves Arthur's life.

( The dog took off to explore the moment Arthur closed the door behind them. He sniffed the rug in front of the fireplace, crawled under the bed, and knocked over a vase when he attempted to scale the dresser. )

That was adorable. I often thought Merlin acted like a big puppy dog! Loved how he acted just like Merlin. Well done.

I agree. But now I can't watch the show anymore without hearing Arthur say, "Merlin, heel" in my head. ;)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!

I actually wasn't sure if I could pull this off in the beginning, and then I realized that Merlin follows Arthur wherever he goes - no matter what Arthur does to him - and loves everybody without reservations and blinks wounded eyes at people when things aren't going his way, and voila: Fic.

Thank you for reading. Your comment makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

I had to google Irish setters (I know, I know, shame on me) but it's totally true!

Aww, this is so adorable. Merlin was so in character, lol!

He always reminds me of a puppy (an oversized, awkward puppy) in the show, so this scenario wasn't much of a stretch for me. Good to hear you enjoyed it. :D
