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. )

He totally has that loyal-yet-slightly-stupid thing going on*. :)

*Not that dogs are necessarily stupid. They're just a bit too trusting sometimes.

This was so cute it had me smiling at times. I'm a dog person and I loved this.

Oooh, I LOVED this!!! Although I kept waiting for Merlin to be under a spell of some kind and some act of Arthur's would break it, maybe finally getting his name right?? But the ending was perfect; I love that Arthur was so worried about Merlin being hurt. Nicely done!

I actually kept dithering between Merlin being an enchanted dog and an actual dog (and I'm still not sure I made the right decision). But I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
