Do you ever think about Yuuri’s love for Makkachin? Like
yeah…Makkachin was Viktor’s dog…but his first word upon seeing a pic of Makka
was “Cute!” He thought that dog was so damn cute and friendly-looking that he
immediately got a miniature version for himself and he loved that dog to
pieces. Now, I’m not saying Yuuri’s love for Vicchan was totally because of
Makka, but Makka was the inspiration for Vicchan’s being owned by Yuuri, that’s
just canon.

And then…he meets…Makkachin. The Makkachin. Yuuri recognized
a specific dog. Do you know how hard that is? Not even just the breed, he
was wondering if it was Makkachin specifically before he even knew Viktor was there; Viktor’s
presence just confirmed it.

Yuuri has loved this dog from afar for over a decade.

And that dog loves him back immediately.
