Why is there another dog in my house? (Connor & Hank)Made by parkshan820

It was raining.

Connor didn't mind, really, he just got off the bus and was walking the last few blocks home. It wasn't until the thunder boomed and he heard a whimper. He looks over to see a small Border Collie whimpering and shivering underneath the vehicle. Connor sees the LED light shining on the side of his head. "Hi, there buddy. Its alright." He whispers. The dog whines and he starts to slowly trust the other human android.

"Come on boy. I will take you home where it safe and warm." He says in a gentle voice and The dog suffles towards him and licks his hand. He whines and cuddles up and into Connor. "Yeah, that's it. What a good boy, lets get you dry." Connor says and smiles. Lightning flashes across the sky and the Border Collie whines and shivers even more.

Connor's heart melts. He takes off his jacket and wraps it around the young pup. He picks him up and pulls him close. "Its okay, everything will be alright." He comforts and the pup nuzzles his head into the androids neck. He gets to the house and somehow manages to keep the dog in one arm while his other hand reaches into his pocket and grabs his keys. He opens the door and sees that Hank has not arrived home yet.

Good. He says mentally and sets the pup onto the bathroom floor. He grabs a towel and starts to dry him off. Connor laughs as the Border Collie licks his face while he dries the pup off to the best of his abilities. "Thank goodness that the rain wash all the mud off you." He says. The Border Collie pants with his black and white tail wagging. The dog's brown eyes almost reflected his own. "You almost have the same eyes has me, did you know that?" He asks the dog and the dog barks.

Just then, there was scratching at the bathroom door. "Hold on Sumo! Want to meet a friend?" He asks and stands up. He opens the bathroom door and Sumo comes in. The Border Collie tucks his tail in between his legs, clearly not used to the big dog. Sumo and the pup sniff each other and both their tails start wagging. "See, Sumo is nothing but gentle. He won't hurt you, right bud?" He asks Sumo and the St. Bernard nudges at the smaller dog and the Border Collie tries to nudge him back but the big dog does not move. Thinking it was a game, he barks and runs into him.

He bounces backwards and rolls onto his back. He gets back up and shakes his head. The dog was confused and turns his puppy eyes onto Connor, who was laughing. "Connor!" Hank yells as the front door opens. Sumo charges off and Connor stands. He starts to walk out the bathroom, when he looks back. "Are you coming?" He asks and the pup stands with his tail wagging so hard, that his whole butt starts to move with it. "You are so cute." Connor says and kneels down to pet the dog, who leans into the android's touch.

Hank enters and stops. "Connor, why is there another dog in my house?" He asks. Connor looks at Hank with a nervous expression. "It is not my fault, I was walking home and it was raining." He says. "Wait, why are you walking home in the rain?! Connor, what did I say about that?" Hank huffs out. "I'm sorry, but anyway I heard a whimper and this poor boy was abandoned by its owner. It would have died!" He exclaims and holds the dog close. Hank sighs and sits down at the kitchen table. "Connor-"

"Look, it's an android, just like me! He won't eat, or make a mess. He just needs a lot of love is all." Connor says and gives Hank that look. That god damn puppy eye look. Hank tries to speak once more to tell his decision but Connor is so set that he will say no. "I will take care of it and Sumo already likes him. It will be good for Sumo! He needs a friend, a dog companion." He reasons.

"Connor!" Hank says loudly that causes the android to stay silent. "Jesus, I have been trying to say that you can keep it for the past ten minutes. Like I could say no to an animal that needs help." Hank says and was surprised that Conor gives him a tight hug. "Thank you!" He says and the older man wraps his arms around his son. "Anything for you son." He says and Connor smiles at the fact that the older man called him son. "Now he needs a name." He says once they break the hug.

The android looks down at the male Border Collie. "Max, his name is Max." He says after a minute. "That's a perfect name for him." Hank says. "Hank?" Connor asks as the lieutenant walks into the kitchen to grab a beer. "Yeah?" He says and looks at the android.

"Thanks dad."
