Description
This is...SO ridiculous. I can't believe I made this. ANYWAYS...Sherlock is an Afghan Hound (hard to train because they’re TOO SMART & very cat-like) Their natural coat is short and shaggy.
John is a chow/german shepherd mix, loyal protective and brave but it’s hard to earn their trust.
And Lestrade is their beleaguered owner. I even wrote a ficlet to go with it. BEHOLD:
-----
Once upon a time in London…
There was a great detective named Greg Lestrade. And he in turn had a great and brilliant dog named Sherlock. Sherlock, was far more genius than most humans and thus he was bored all the time. Night after night Lestrade would return home to find many experiments done on the durability of his furniture and shoes.
“Sherlock, you can’t keep doing this,” said Lestrade, distressed.
“Failed to solve another case I see,” Sherlock replied, in his incomprehensible dog way, sitting among the remnants of the ruined couch. “How very expected.”
Lestrade (again) decided Sherlock needed some company and (again) took him to the local shelter to see if (this time) there was another dog who they (Sherlock) could get along with.
Mike met them at the door, more than familiar with the other man’s plight. “We have one who may work though. You could foster him for a bit, see if Sherlock likes him?”
The sad shaggy dog raised his head from his paws when he saw them, tail laying still and shoulder still bandaged. “This is John.” Mike said, introducing them. Sherlock looked down his long nose at him, blue eyes unusually bright.
“Shot. By a perpetrator, no longer with your family. Your handler was killed? No. Shot and too injured to care for you. You couldn’t save him. But you tried. Admirable. Strange you were shot, as you normally do victim recovery…”
“That’s amazing,” said John, eyes wide and tail wagging, “How did you know?”
Sherlock smiled mysteriously and ignored the question. “The name is Sherlock and you’re coming to live in my flat.”

This is utter unbeta’d crack, forgive me…

This pretty much made my entire day.
Love your style, and the fact that Sherlock is a boney Afghan. What an adorable shaggy John.
It's probably wrong I want to hear more of the accompanying story...

My aunt breeds Afghan Hounds, and while they have their moments of brilliance you always get this one ever so often that you'd swear could talk. Levi was one of those dogs. He'd open doors, kennel gates, and undo latches. He never could make an escape without releasing every single canine in the kennel though lol
I love that you made Sherlock one, he's usually done as a greyhound. Though his hair isn't as sleek so I would've gone with Borzoi or Afghan Hound for him too.
John isn't a terrier for once too! That makes me really happy. I like how he's a Henz-57 mutt, and in a jumper. I wish you'd do a full story about this, it'd be brilliant!

I can really, truly see them as these dogs. I just love the way you drew Sherlock - you captured his condescending holier-than-thou glare dead-on, even as a canine!

You do not know how much I appreciate seeing this D:
Just today I was trying to express to a friend why I thought and Afghan Hound or a Standard Poodle would be perfect for Sherlock! XDD and John would be some sort of Shephard (Chow works wonderfully actually)
I definitely giggled at this so thank you!
Also this AU with Lestrad as the owner and Mike at the shelter (and possible evilCat!Moriarty) is probably the best animal AU ever (possibly second only to A Study in Squirrels)

Afghan hound is WAY too appropriate for Sherlock. It's just... It's freaking me out how right that is! I never would've thought of chow/German shepherd for John. I don't think I've ever heard of that combo before but AAW so cute! If they are as adorable and ragged looking as John then it's totally right. This is hilarious. I'm loving the ficlet. XD

LOLOL, that is too frigging awesome.
And "The sad shaggy dog raised his head from his paws when he saw them, tail laying still and shoulder still bandaged." made me a bit teary. I can't even watch the adverts for the Humane Society without turning into a blubbering wreck.

Arrrgh, I don't even know where to begin with ! Story, idea, whole package or Lastrade in the corner! Another pic that leve me speechless ('cause you can't count 'awwwwohmygodthatssoadorable' as a word). Puppy-dog eyes have new (literal) meaning.
Thumbs up for the cat!Moriarty idea!

words can not describe the amount of love I have for this....partly because of Lestrade, the poor man would go insane with those two as pets.
