Dug (Up) and Ben Tennyson

Ben had recently met a new kid at his school named Rustle. The two had become friends and, eventually, Rustle had mentioned that his neighbor had a talking dog.

Ben had laughed it off as a joke but when he found out that his Grandpa was friends with Rustle’s neighbor, he actually wanted to see this “talking dog” for himself.

When Ben and his grandpa had gone to visit the man, whose name was Carl, it was then Ben asked about the dog.

”I actually think Dug, my dog, is in the backyard if you want to go meet him” Carl said.

”Okay thanks” Ben replied.

After walking out to the backyard but didn’t see a dog.

”Hrm, I wonder where-“ “Hi there”.

Ben jumped at hearing the voice behind him.

He turned around to see a big panting golden retriever that was wagging it’s tail.

“You must be Dug” Ben said.

”Yes, I am Dug. Are you a friend of my papa” Dug said through his collar.

Ben’s eyes grew huge upon hearing the dog respond.

”You can talk!!!” Ben said.

”Oh yes. My first master made me this collar so I can talk. But he is gone now and I have a new master and I love him” Dug said.

“Uh okay” Ben said.

”Have you come to see Papa” Dug asked, panting happily with his tail wagging.

”No, but my Grandpa is friends with your papa” Ben said as he realized Dug was referring to Carl.

”If papa has a new friend that means I can have a new friend as well” Dug said as he began getting very excited.

Dug then pounced on Ben and began vigorously sniffing and snuffling over Ben’s face with his big nose

”You smell very good, very good smell” Dug said as he kept playfully sniffing over Ben’s face.

”Hahahaha hey nohohoho, hahaha it tickles” Ben laughed.

At this point all he could see was the large snuffling nose of the golden retriever that was still sniffing him over.

”You know even though I have just met you, I already love you” Dug said.

The golden retriever then started wildly licking all over Ben’s face, coating it in saliva. The only thing Ben could see were the taste buds that covered the tongue, which was currently covering his face.

”HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good boy Dug, that’s a good boyhyhyhyhyhy.” Ben laughed.

”You taste good as well” Dug said before continuing on with licking all over Ben’s face.

Eventually Dug stopped his licking fest on Ben’s face and allowed the boy to get back up.

”Hahaha thanks Dug. Hey, you want to play a game. It’s called hide and seek. I’ll hide and you have to try and find me” Ben said.

”Yes, I do want to play this game. I’m a great tracker and I will find you” Dug said before standing up on his hind-legs and sniffed at Ben’s face.

The golden retriever then gave Ben a big sloppy lick across his face for good measure.

”Hahahaha okay boy” Ben laughed.

Both went inside and upstairs where they would start the game. Before going up Ben whispered something to Carl, who smiled and said “Sure kid”.

“Okay Dug wait until the number on this clock changes then come to find me” Ben said as he pointed to the clock’s minute hand.

”Oh boy, this will be fun. I will find you. I’m a great tracker…did I mention that” Dug said as he sat, panting in front of Ben.

”Yeah, you mentioned it” Ben said.

Ben went downstairs, leaving Dug to wait for a minute. Ben had asked Carl if he could hide in the tiny shed in the backyard. Since Carl had said yes it was where Ben would hide.

Dug waited until the minute hand moved on the clock before bolting downstairs. Dug looked around but didn’t see Ben. The golden retriever pressed his large nose to the ground and began vigorously sniffing for his new friend

”I can smell him, I can smell him” Dug kept repeating as he followed Ben’s scent trail.

Dug followed the trail to the backyard where he sniffed even more vigorously for Ben

Ben was sure he heard loud vigorous sniffing outside the shed. He got up and looked through a small hole near the bottom of the shed’s door. Only the see the big sniffing nose of the golden retriever snuffling the hole

Dug backed up and panted happily while wagging his tail.

”He is inside. I can smell him” Dug said.

This was Ben’s only warning before Dug jumped into the shed onto him. All he could see were the big wildly sniffing nose and the saliva coated taste buds of the dog’s tongue.

”I love you, I love you, I love you” Dug said as he relentlessly sniffed and licked Ben’s face.

”HAHAHAHAHAHAHA good dog Dug. You’re a good bohyhyhyhy”. Ben laughed.
