Dogmeat, Come Home
Summary: The Sole Survivor comes back to Sanctuary after a long trip only to discover their canine companion, Dogmeat, is missing.
Sole Survivor's POV
Exhausted and filthy, I trudged on towards Sanctuary in hopes of getting a good night's rest. As I made it to the entrance I began to whistle for my faithful companion, a beautiful German Shepherd, Dogmeat. I continued to call for him until Preston approached me.
"General, I'm afraid to you inform but," he sighs. "Dogmeat is missing."
Those three words.
Dogmeat is missing? How did this happen? I must've been so caught up in fighting the Institute and assisting surrounding settlements that I completely forgot about him. He must've thought I was never coming back for him or got lost while searching for me. Nevertheless, I had to find him.
"Alright, Thank you Preston."
Preston looked concerned but nodded before he continued patrolling the neighborhood. I let out a heavy sigh as I turned around to begin my search for my companion.
Dogmeat, now I know I was wrong
I messed up and now you're gone
Dogmeat, I'm sorry I neglected you
Oh, I never expected you to run away
And leave me feeling this empty
Your bark right now would sound like music to me
Please come home 'cause I miss you, Dogmeat
My mind continued to wander and with each step my anxiety felt heavier and heavier. Where could he be? How could I leave him alone for so long?
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
How could I have been so ignorant? I practically abandoned him and after all he's done for me.
Dogmeat, can't you see I was blind?
I'll do anything to change your mind
More than a pet, you're my best friend
Too cool to forget, come back 'cause we are family
And forgive me for making you wanna roam
And now, my heart is beating like the saddest metronome
Somewhere I hope you're reading my latest three-word poem
If it weren't for him I wouldn't have ever found Kellogg or the Institute for that matter. Finding Shaun was made possible all because of him. He's more than just a dog. Dogmeat's my best friend.
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, come home
Dogmeat, won't you come home?
My feet make an abrupt stop near the entrance of Red Rocket. Slowly I make my way into the garage and set on a lone chair in the corner. What am I gonna do? He could be anywhere by now. I place my head in my hands and continue to ponder his whereabouts when...
Bark!
"Dogmeat!"
A/N: This chapter, of course, is inspired by "Gary's Song" from Spongebob Squarepants.
