[Honestly, Dogmeat is welcome to take advantage just as much as he likes--if there's one thing Chip never gets tired of, it's showering animals with all the affection and love they can.]
[The whine and lack of tag on him makes Chip's expression fall. Poor thing, is he all on his own? They go from scratching behind his ears to petting down along the neck and shoulder, smoothing down any ruffled up fur.] 'Re you a stray, then? Poor buddy...hey, can I call you that? You wanna be Buddy?
[Maybe it's silly to ask a dog like that, but birds back home have responded and understood sometimes, and it just feels natural to Chip. Definitely easier than talking to people, that's for sure.]
