#dog!matt

you're alone in your living room looking through available jobs that are easy and not too complicated, the reason is because you've decided its time for a brand new car since you have used your parents car for way too long, and its a bit run down and old, you scroll for hours until you see this dog sitting website, you have no experience of course but you thought it'd be fun to try it out at least, looking through the website, theres this dog under the name Matt without a photo, whoever was his owner lived not too far from where you lived so you decided to dog sit him. Almost immediately you're accepted so you eagarly grab your keys and head out the door and drive to the persons house, once you got there, you knocked on the door, a blonde male with a scar covering the left of his face greets you "were you the one who offered to take care of Matt while I'm away for a bit?" "ah, yeah! thats me!" "great, I'll be gone for a couple hours running errands, that should give you enough time to know each other" "i see..where is he?" "oh, right" he calls out for Matt a few times, you were expecting a German Shepherd or a Labrador, but to your surprise, it wasn't either of those..

running into the room, he'd appeared to be human, however, he was a hybrid of a dog, Matt began yapping at you as his fluffy tail wagged excitedly "I almost forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mello" "hm, never heard that name before.." "lots of people haven't I don't think, oh well, you two have fun, and make sure Matt doesn't get into trouble alright?" "oh I'll make sure, you don't have to worry" you walk into the house as Mello leaves, closing the door behind him, you look over at Matt, who is still yapping and hopping around at you "wow...you're just a yapper aren't you?" you say, petting him, that didn't seem to calm him down, not even in the slightest, why not a game of catch? grabbing the ball off the floor and tossing it, it bounces off of matts nose and rolls on the floor, he bites as if he was catching it, but it was delayed, you chuckled a little at how silly he is, trying to get the ball back, Matt turns from you, gnawing away at the ball, 'ah' you think 'hes one of those dogs who refuses to give back a toy you threw'

its been about an hour now, Matt lays on the floor looking at you, whining "what's the matter? are you hungry?" he immediately gets up at the sound of that, you laugh a little, getting up from the chair and walking to the kitchen and opening the cabinet, you spot a container with a note on it, reading "homemade dog food" you shrug, putting a bit of it in Matts bowl, immediately Matt rushes over and just scarfs down the food "wow! someones hungry!" once Matt's done, he barks happily as he wags his tail, you aww, petting him and scratching him behind the ears "who's a good boy? who's a good boy?!" Matt happily yaps as he licks your face, running around excitedly, and hey! he even brought you the ball! you play with him for a few hours, up until he gets tired and falls asleep in your lap, you didn't expect him to be so heavy, it was like this for a good 20 minutes, up until Mello got home
