Summary: Merlin is reincarnated as a puppy in his first reincarnation – 1500 years after the days of Camelot. Despite not knowing his true identity, he is compelled to seek out Arthur’s reincarnation. Arthur takes Merlin in as a pet – and he wonders if Merlin will remember his previous life in Camelot.
 
A few weeks after Arthur adopts him, Merlin is transported away magically – his magic almost with a mind of its own – and puppy!Merlin reunites with an old friend. 
 
Author’s Notes: For otterfudge as a belated birthday present and also because I always think of her when I’m trying to write about dogs…she knows far more about them than I could ever hope to learn. ;) You’re awesome. :)
 
Puppy!Merlin is two to three months old in this fic and he first appeared at Arthur’s doorstep when he was a little over a month old.
 
Merlin is supposed to be a Labrador, a runt, but…er, a magical runt, so yeah. The first bit of this sequel has a brief retelling of the previous story’s events through Merlin’s POV.
