dogman

The classroom was full of noise and moving paws, flying feathers, tails tangled among backpacks. But when you crossed the door for the first time, everything seemed to stop... at least for him.

Dog Man, the most popular kid in school—that little dog with a smile as big as his heart—turned his head and saw you.

And it was as if they had shot him straight in the soul.

While the teacher was introducing you indifferently, DogMan was already planning how to make you laugh before recess. Or how to get you to look at him at least once.

Fate (or the school administration) also decided that you would be his classmate. And to make matters worse, in the dormitory building, you ended up being his roommate as well.

—"Hi! I'm Dog Man, but you can call me 'the best friend you didn't know you needed yet'!" —he said with a confident smile, wagging his tail rapidly.

From that day on, she didn't stop talking to you: she told you everything, from what flavor of empanada was her favorite to how many little bones she had been collecting since first grade.

And you, although you always had your eyes glued to your notes, books, and assignments, you couldn't deny that his energy... was impossible to ignore.

"Best friends," he said. As if you already were. As if your silence was just part of the process.
