Art post for "Man's Best Soulmate" by @malicmalic!
Banner featuring "Buddy", a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever with some not at all suspiciously freckle-like whisker spots. Read MalicMalic's amazing fic here! I'm paw-sitive you'll fall in love with this version of Cas and Dean <3 I loved this very unique take on the soulmate mark trope.
See main art on Ao3 with additional discussion/notes here! Sort of spoiler-y but out of context main art under the cut--go read the fic first!

Summary:
At a very young age, Cas was bitten by a dog. At the time he was scared and traumatized, but had no real grasp of how that attack would affect his life.
Years later, Cas is trudging through life. He has a simple, unimportant job, a small apartment and nobody but his cousin to annoy him from time to time. And no matter what he tries, he can’t find his soulmate. Because his soulmark is nothing but a smear of colors under a scar. Everything changes when one day, he stumbles upon a lost, hungry dog. He doesn’t know why he feels so drawn to it, especially considering his fear of canines, but there is just something about the dog’s green eyes that simply pulls him in. He does the unthinkable - he takes the dog in, feeds it and gives it a home.
Little does he know that little act of kindness will change his life forever.
