I want a nice collar. Made from real leather. A collar that fits. One with spikes so I feel safe from touches I don’t want. One you (have permission to) tug on and I let you. I let you lead me gently. I know that I can hurt you. I don’t want to. If I have been made into a violent, obedient thing, can I still be loved? Loved as I am? Can I stop this aching metamorphosis into something better and more functional and just be a brutal, coarse, raw tooth-thing for you? I had to follow orders for my own safety, can I be rewarded for how well I do so? Can I give you the privilege of my obedience, and you give me the gift of comfort?
If I was a human tortured into a dog, can I be your good dog?
