Max and Cody (The Rescuers Down Under)

Cody’s head surfaced from the ocean water, taking a deep breath of air as he shook the water from his hair. He looked around and smirked.

”Lost them!”

He had been on the run from sea pirates who had captured an orca in a net but Cody managed to cut the orca loose. He got spotted by the sea poachers and was chased for some time.

It was nighttime now and he needed to get home by tomorrow or his mother would ground him for he had lied and said that he was sleeping over at a friend’s house.

Cody then saw a ship pass by. It was sailing in the direction of where he lived, it didn't look like a pirate ship so he swam after it. Breathing a sigh of relief upon catching up to the ship (likely due to there being a calm breeze), Cody immediately looked up at the massive ship.

“I really hope the climb up’s worth it…” Cody said as he looked around for something to properly grab onto to begin his climb.

He heard music as he climbed higher, which fueled his curiosity. He also heard feet tapping the ground.

He managed to reach a low balustrade that allowed him to see what was going on on the deck of the ship. There were several grown ups and they looked to be having a party as they danced along to some music being played by a sailor with a concertina. Cody saw a black-haired man and a red-haired woman dancing together in unison. They must have been rich due to the way they were dressed. This was nothing like that pirate ship he'd snuck onto earlier as the feeling in the air was of peace and happiness instead of ruin and dread.

Cody's attention was suddenly brought to a loud booming bark and he saw a big Old English Sheepdog bounding around between the people. From time to time he'd jump up on them, and Cody would see a gigantic, slobbery pink tongue flash out of its mouth, slapping onto the face of either the man or the woman and stretching their cheeks out in a big, wet slurp, drawing a laugh from either one. Cody couldn't help but giggle at the sight himself, but then his eyes widened as he saw the dog perk up. His laughter had been as quiet as he could make it, but somehow the dog had apparently still heard him!

Cody ducked back around the ship's bulkhead, hoping the dog wouldn't investigate, but he winced as he heard the sound of sniffing and paws on the deck coming closer and closer. His eyes widened anxiously at the possibility of being in trouble if he got caught because he knew very well that they could potentially think he was a stowaway.

As he waited for the sheepdog to hopefully go away, he found that he was no longer hearing the sound of sniffing, much less that of nails clacking against the wooden deck of the ship. The blonde boy blinked in confusion and wondered why the noise stopped so suddenly.

Cody slowly turned his head back from around the bulkhead, only to find himself nose to cold wet nose with the sheepdog from before who was panting up a storm! In spite of his nerves, however, Cody couldn't bring himself to be scared. The dog actually looked really friendly! And he was BIG, too! "Wow," he giggled. "You're a lot bigger than I thought you were!"

And Max's body wasn't the only thing that was big. Faced with this tasty-smelling boy, he swung his huge pink tongue forward, slapping it onto Cody's cheek with a wet splat. Cody grimaced, his nose crinkling from the sensation of the tongue lifting his cheek up, pushing his eye completely shut in the process before slurping off in a spray of drool that nearly knocked Cody off the ship! "Hahahaha! Hey, boy, cut that out!" Cody giggled, rubbing his licked cheek.

Max didn’t feel like cutting it out however, not by a long shot. In fact, before Cody even knew it, the sheepdog had suddenly gripped onto the scruff of his red shirt.

“H-hey, what-“ Cody was interrupted by the sheepdog pulling him onto the ship. His shirt dangled from the dog’s jaws as Max carried him away with the same ease as he would a pup (though in Cody’s case, the sheepdog probably counted him as one to begin with); “C’mon boy, put me down!”

Max ignored him as he suddenly bounded off along the deck before he eventually found an open door and went through it along with Cody. The door led to a staircase that went deep down into the bowels of the ship. Here lanterns provided light, just enough so that when Max finally dropped Cody in the middle of a storeroom filled with crates and barrels, he could still see the dog. Cody giggled as Max dropped him, turning to face the big fluffy sheepdog.

"Alright boy, you got me here," Cody said, folding his arms. "So, what's up?"

It was funny, despite Cody being able to somehow communicate with various animals, there were some that seemed incapable of talking back to him beyond their normal animal sounds. But he didn’t seem to mind, especially with how friendly this dog was, even if he was so big that he towered over Cody, looking more like a bear than a dog to the boy!

Max, of course, decided to show what was up in his own unique way…

After running around Cody in a typical playful fashion as dogs are apt to do, the sheepdog immediately lowered his head down toward the boy he towered over, giving him a quick lick on one of his cheeks. It wasn’t as forceful as the one from before, but all the same that tongue rolled the skin of the cheek upward. Cody grunted as his cheek was lifted up, then as Max's tongue slurped off his face, throwing his head back. He giggled again, rubbing his cheek with a hand. "Hahaha! Wow, you must really like me, don't you, boy?"

Max nodded eagerly, sending his gigantic pink tongue flopping about, before he gave a similar lick to Cody's other cheek, with the same reaction. Not wanting to stop there, Max unleashed a barrage of firmer licks to Cody’s cheeks, with the boy being pushed back while placing his hands on the dog’s furry chest, laughing all the while he as felt his cheeks being lifted up enough to cover his eyes.

"C-Cut it ohohohohohout, boyeeheeheehee!" Cody squealed as Max's tongue continued to lick his face, until he was pushed onto his back, helpless as Max began to lick his face in earnest, lifting and stretching his cheeks as they were licked over and over again. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Cody could do little but endure his cheeks being stretched like putty by the sheepdog, unable to even reach up and scratch Max behind the ears thanks to the latter planting his big hairy paws against the boy’s shoulders.

Soon enough, Max decided to see how much he could make one of Cody’s cheeks bounce as he deeply planted his tongue against Cody’s right cheek. "Aw, comahahahaahahahan!" Cody squealed as Max buried his tongue deep in Cody's cheek, stretching it out cartoonishly and spreading it out so much it covered half of Cody's face as it slurped upward with agonizing slowness, before finally slurping off in a spray of drool. "Down, boy! Heel! Heel!"

Max did the opposite, however, and instead switched targets, his big pink tongue coming down towards the center of Cody's face, aiming to cover the entire thing!

“MMMMPH!” Cody exclaimed ‘neath the tongue as it planted against his face all the way near his ears, his vision filed with pink. The sheepdog naturally proceeded to lift the tongue upwards, stretching both of Cody’s cheeks in the process. Cody kicked and flailed helplessly as Max dragged his giant tongue up his face, stretching it out cartoonishly before finally slurping off in a spray of drool. Max then started to pick up the pace, giving Cody's face swipe after swipe with his big slobbery tongue.

Cody couldn’t help but laugh boyishly under the tongue, allowing Max to stretch his face out with that wash cloth of a tongue that the sheepdog had!

It even got to the point where Cody’s blonde hair was slicked up in a manner where he looked more like a cockatoo than a human boy!

"Come ohohohohohon!" he giggled as Max continued to lick his face. "Stahahahahap ihihihihit! You're soakin' meheeheeheeheeheeheehee!"

Max didn't stop, however. He slapped his tongue onto the underside of Cody's chin, pushing the boy's head back as he dragged his enormous tongue from Cody's throat to the tip of his chin, stretching it out like it was made of rubber before he again slurped it off in a spray of drool. On top of that because of driblets raining down from the spray even some of parts of Cody’s shirt were getting wet and icky from the dog slobber the boy was getting bathed with!

This almost made him wish that Max was his dog, even though he knew it couldn’t happen because of the fact that he belonged to someone else. He could still smile at the thought though, helped especially by the fact that Max had now switched back to bouncing his cheeks with that big ole tongue.

“Heh, good boy…” Cody said to the dog, opting to kiss Max on the nose since he couldn’t reach his arms up to scratch the sheepdog behind the ears. Max repaid this smooch with one of his own, once again smothering Cody's face in his huge pink pillow of a tongue that dragged up Cody's face all the way back to his ears.

”Maaaax, here boy!” Ariel called out as she walked around on the deck of the ship, a gentle smile forming on her red lips as she looked for any sign of her and Eric's pet dog; “Honestly, where could that dog have gotten off to?” she wondered.

Her question was answered in the form of a familiar sound reaching her ears, making her blink in surprise, yet giggle at the same time as she realized who was making that particular sound.

”Well, time to see who his latest playmate is…”

Ariel soon found out that the sound was coming from the opened door that led down to the part of the ship's hold where all the shipment containers were kept. The young lady walked down the stairs that Max had , stopping when she got to the bottom, the sounds of Max's tongue slapping and slurping someone's face now clearly audible.

The reason it was audible?

Right in front of Ariel, she could see that Max was standing over a boy, drool flying everywhere from the boy's soaked face as the sheepdog licked his face over and over again, stretching his cheeks out each time. The boy's feet were even limply twitching with each lick,

Ariel walked over and stood next to Max looking down at him. She chuckled and reached down to scratch the dog behind the ears.

“I see you brought someone on the ship to play with!” Ariel said.

Max stopped licking the boy for a moment to bark at his mistress before he stood on his hindlegs, placed his paws on her shoulders and gave her a big ole lick on her left cheek.

The redhead grinned as her nose crinkled from the sensation of her dog’s tongue lifting the skin of her cheek up strongly, even momentarily pushing her eye shut before the dog went back to ‘bathing’ the blonde boy laying on his back.
