When the advertisement asked for good dogs, Cyg knew she had to send Morgan. The Growlithe would do anything for a treat and didn't have a mean bone in her body. She behaved perfectly until the veeerry end when she got tired and just laid down and asked for belly rubs from everyone passing by for a while. Food eventually got her moving again.

What is a Good Dog? How does one define a Good Dog? Is a Good Dog something that was intrinsic? Or was it something as a reaction to what a dog does?

This moral quandary has been debated since the beginning of time. Of the great Philosophers, Socrates, Hume, Pyrrho, Kant, Epictetus, Bentham, have all tossed their rings in the hat in the unending cyclical argument.

But the ad never specified. So Callan sent in Lady, his Yamper. In his eyes, all Dog Pokemon were Good Dogs.

Within a minute of being off the chain, the dog walker was dragged on the ground as the Yamper excitedly ran to the nearest lamp post to relieve itself, before launching itself into a public garbage bin to fish for leftover food. In her excitement, she gets stuck inside the lid, and after cleaning up her potty, the walker mistakenly grabs Lady by the belly to try to pull her out.

Alarmed, Lady Wild Charges out of the rubbish bin, electrocuting her handler and destroying the bin in the process, sending paper cups, leftover food, rotting berries, scraps of magazine and plastic flying everywhere as she goes to relieve another third of her bladder at a nearby fire hydrant.

surprisingly, cian does not have that many dog pokemon but what he sends is close enough. the flareon stands amongst its peers, but unlike 's yamper, flareon does what it's told and stays put, following orders well enough.[break][break]

"good girl!"[break][break]

flareon wags its tail, then paws their leg because it's expecting a treat.[break][break]

when no treat comes, it grrrrrrrrrrrrrs, then walks away only to be stopped by the leash around its neck.

While the advertisement asked for Good Dogs the fine print stated they were handling felines, too. To say that the albino male Pyroar, Aslan, intimidated the intern handling him was an understatement. The young man came expecting to walk a small Pokémon, not a fully-grown adult lion that was so big he had to be a pride leader! One of the few things that calmed him down was seeing a saddle on the great cat. For an apex predator such as Pyroar to be willing to be ridden by its trainer was a sign of how well-behaved he was. Despite the company keeping its client-employee relations anonymous, the intern almost instantly recognized the Pokémon as being owned by a celebrity.

This Pyroar was owned by Pokémon racer and Gym Leader, .

While he hadn't seen the Leader's work before, he was vaguely aware of how the Gym operated. Aslan towering over the rest of the Pokémon, and even the company's handlers, made the lion all the more fearsome. He wasn't walking this regal cat that boasted bulging leg muscles, no siree. He could tell the moment he held the Pyroar's long reins in lieu of a traditional leash.

All it would take was the savannah emperor bolting once to overpower him. Thankfully, he knew better than to endanger the safety of his handler, whether it be his trainer or the young man watching over him now. The Pyroar stopped next to Morgan and greeted the well-behaved Growlithe with a raised paw, much like a human would wave a hand. before nuzzling the young man responsible for him. The red fur around the noble feline's face radiated refreshing, relaxing warmth almost like soaking in a hot tob.

After accepting a treat from the young man, the Pyroar sat down and gently purred, beckoning his handler to climb on. This was far from what he signed up for; he came to the realization that he wasn't walking this cat. This cat was walking him. And not walking, either. Running. Fast. He did as the Pyroar asked, lifted a leg over the sitting Pyroar's back, and sat down, holding the lion's reins with both his hands. THe fire-type stood up and let out a prideful roar audible throughout the entire park.

Regret instantly filled the handler's heart as he clutched the giant furball for dear life, Aslan joyously bounding around the concourse at speeds only 's Boltund had a hope of keeping up with. The great cat was used to hearing Josh's blissful whoop when he did that to him. He got nothing but screams of panic and fear from his handler, frantically shouting to slow down.

So, like, there was another ‘call for help’ among the people who weren’t panicking about the end of the world—

They needed help walking their multitude of feline and canine companions! Who was she to say no?!

Arguably, she realized that may have been a better fit for this with Buddy the Arcanine, however the day she was scheduled to do this he was one city over helping out take care of some raucous Chatot…

Ah, well, his loss for skipping out on walking the good boyos!

Unfortunately, Izumi herself had a Meowth that needed walking—and this Meowth was the Alolan kind! So… 1000% more sassy. Unbelievable.

Of course she wasn’t going to stop preening herself every ten steps or so.

Talk about being a major show-off.

Being a member of the Council offered Elinor precious little time to just walk her Pokémon. If they weren’t training then they weren’t being productive. Luckily she could outsource the more menial tasks of Pokémon upkeep to entrepreneurial spirits.

Which she had done today.

It wasn’t often that Flareon got to go out without being accompanied by the rest of the Eeveelution-herd. But today was a special occasion. Some poor sods had sought Pokémon to help them advertise their Pokémon walking business and well, here she was.

She pranced around all better-than-thou-like. Sneering at all those who came too close to her. Pulling the leash whenever the Pokémon-walker seemed inattentive. If they wanted good behavior they would have to treat her with the respect she deserved.

Even when they tried to berate her on this behavior all the walker would get as a reply was SMOG blown right in their face. Flareon cared naught for their feeble attempt at domestication.

[attr="class","star2"] Normally, Enzo finds the time scattered throughout the week to exercise his canids. Pia, in particular, needs the extra run time to channel all that excess energy. Even the the goodest of girls like her can turn unashamedly mischievous without that time put in to make sure she’s challenged and entertained. And unfortunately, simply leaving her to bother his houndoom, Cassius, just does not cut it.[break][break]

The call for help with dog walking seems like the perfect opportunity to tucker the boltund out on a day where Enzo can’t part from the stack of paperwork that’s seemed to magically accumulate on his desk overnight. So off Pia goes to Lilycove for an afternoon.[break][break]

Well behaved as she typically is, keeping her contained proved difficult. There are just so many other puppers to meet and greet. And frankly, her resistance to explicit command rears up when instinct overshadows her handler’s command to stay as ’s pyroar takes off. Lickety split, Pia is yanking free from the hands holding her leash, leaving it flapping behind her as she chases the large feline, arcing around him in circles and barking in delight as she tries to herd him back toward the group.[break][break]

At least it’s an attempt at helpfulness?

Rather than the need for walks and so-forth, that was something could very well do herself, she had entrusted her small Growlithe to the pokémon handler with the intent to learn the pooch to socialize with pokémon other than the ones she owned. The fact that Mythras was a shy, emotionally fragile puppy helped during the walk, as he just carefully trotted behind the poor handler without needing much direction while they tried their best to get the other pokémon back in line.

Well, at least they tried. Despite his otherwise heroic name, Mythras also listened to the nickname "Mimi", and "Mimi" only cowered whenever a set of strangers' eyes looked at him-- so basically every person they came across. There was solace in the fact there was another Growlithe among the group, which it would soon start tailing as if his life depended upon it; until something startled Mimi, prompting a sound retreat to the nearest pillow to hide on.

Strange though, this 'pillow' was feeling awfully warm...
