This is one I did in 2003. I thought it turned out really great! This is my black lab as a human. I had a nice story written for this character, but I lost it sadly. Basically a girl prays at an ancient cathedral she finds in the forest for a friend. When she turns around, she finds a collar and puts it on the dog who followed her. Wala! He falls in love with her, but she dies in an accident and he's left all alone. He wishes he can turn back into a dog, but the collar can't be taken off or destroyed. The end.

Oh! That text to the right of him says 'Ore wa ningen nanoka?' or 'Am I human?'.
