Plot twist: a passerby notices and rushes to perform CPR on the dog. Death allows it to bring the dog back from the brink (just this once he tells himself, when he knows it will just be until the next time. He's been around since the dawn of time and has seen this scenario play out both ways and although he's only bones he's not completely heartless) The person takes the dog home to look after him and love him for the rest of his life. When the dog is old and in pain death is a welcome release. A familiar figure appears next to him and a voice says "TIME TO GO" "Was I a good boy?" the dog asks, the figure holds up a bag of treats "I WAS TOLD YOU WERE THE BEST" the voice replies. This time the dog willingly follows knowing he is, and always will be, loved.
I know he's bones but like overlord kind of bones, not human white bones...
Now he just looks... skinny
