The dog has one of the Great Old Ones reassuring him with pats and treats tho. If the King in Yellow had played with u and fed u for ur entire life and let you sleep in his berth of unspeakable blackness at night, and then hugged you reassuringly when Cthulhu rose from the depths, you might be able to handle it better too

    I feel it must be stated that one of the most skittish and aloof animals known for their cruelty and propensity for killing, seek us out for protection and comfort. They bring us blood sacrifices, and long to be near us but to feel our touch for too long is too much for their frail body’s and minds.

    Cats are the true cultists of Human Evil…that or they’re a splinter of a neutral abject horror from beyond the veil who’s just too lazy to spread destruction this millennia
