Asking for a friend ;), but would you be so amazinmg to share that similar idea?
The most similar is “Goja Dang!” kind of like this except the grumpy one is a cat and the owner has the dog like personality (sadly very short).
There’s a couple I’ve seen where the pet transforms into human or a human turns into a pet and gets adopted but it’s not the same.
Tbh not seeing it as abuse can happen to people too. There’s a documentary(?) in yt about the little girl who called the police so she can tell them that her 2 little siblings were chained up in the bed by their parents. She was asked some questions and the fact that she doesn’t know what a street and medicine is because the younger kids never stepped outside the house and the parents never let them go to school anymore or was never. The reason why the 2 kids were chained up is because they were hungry and gotten more food for them. She explained what their parents been doing or the lack thereof to the police casually like it’s normal. Also the fact that some of her siblings and I think her too defended their parents in court because they were “doing what is best for us” which kinda broke my heart. They’re ok now and the parents went to jail.
Sorry for the rambling but tldr no, he can’t consent if he’s not aware or learn what is an abuse. Though it could happen to people irl
Also yeah I understand why people find this weird. I’ve seen many half animal and human couple in romance and bls that I got used to it but yeah I think I could understand you more if I have a dog(someday)
Idea is really different and interesting but tbh the seme feels so infantile that I feel icky reading this. he acts like my dogs. he can’t recognize abuse and interprets everything his owners do as acceptable. can he really consent?
I’ve read a similar idea before and it was executed much better than this.
