Oh my gosh! Creepy yet I could feel compassion for The Beast.

I loved this! I enjoyed the shift from the beast as a figure of doom to the beast as a dutiful, loved figure. I was expecting something completely different in the first section, but I loved where it went and how smoothly everything fit together. Awesome job! :)

I have read so many stories that always depict seeing the black dog as a bad omen. The Hellhounds for instance. They are considered evil or demonic. I really enjoyed how you seemed to turn that myth on its head and make something beautiful and compassionate out of it. This is a really beautiful work that's both sad and yet, joyous at the same time. Wonderful, wonderful piece.

Thank you for this kind comment. I'm glad these things came across. Even hellhounds deserve a little love, right? :)

Yes, it is a little rough in the middle, sorry. <3

This was so well done, it brought tears to my eyes, with the Beast finally getting his well deserved rest and relief.
