Etho stopped halfway along the road as one exceptionally inspiring redstone idea struck him. He stood there, brain working like crackling gears.

Beef worked at a small café around town. He found out milk and some other food stock was running low, so he went out to grocery store. On the way he saw a puppy standing alone on the sidewalk, he bowed down to check it, but it only whimpered some nonsense. Beef wasn’t sure if it’s a stray or lost, so he decided if the pup was still here when he’s back from shopping, he would take it with him to the café. Try to find his owner or someone to adopt…

So after about half an hour, Beef walked back, and the poor dog was still there. Beef carefully picked it up in his arms, managed to keep hold of grocery bags somehow. Thankfully the puppy is not too heavy, he thought to himself, it looks like a shiba inu…but with big ears? So adorable.

Etho broke out from his thoughts due to a mouth-foaming smell of cooked steak and soup, only to find out he was in a temperately put-together box with a cozy matt. Oh snap, what he got himself into…He stood up and shook his head, a calming voice from aside said,’ Oh, you must be hungry. Didn’t see you move in a bit.’ Then a bearded man kneeled before him with a smile, ‘Would you like some steak buddy?’ He didn’t care much about food, but…that smell…Etho will not say no to that. Especially when the tall man laughed at how he wolved down almost the whole plate, promising he would cook something better that evening.

Etho stayed, he would have time to sneak back home to work on redstone when the human now he known named ‘Beef’ went to work, and had nicely cooked meat each day for free.

Beef never got the chance to find someone else to adopt this puppy. Those round eyes lit up every time he went back home. The way he eats always enlighten a chief.

Until weeks later Beef found out the dog is actually a young fox, with better care his tail is now fluffy and smooth. Etho snickered while listening to Beef question himself about how stupid he was and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken side with extra berries that night.

Until months later Beef forgot his phone at home and returned to get it, only run into a stranger with fox ears and tail, holding some electrition components locked up his door. That man turned around and Beef recognized those puppy eyes in disbelief.
