Mostly Cuz I Struggled To Find References Because Of The Sheer Vastness Of Dog Content In His Tag - Tumblr Posts

In my mind, Machete is the one that found Ear in a dumpster or something, saw the familiar markings, and decided immediately that this was his child now. Presents him to Vasco with so much nervousness.

Vasco, meanwhile, sees the huge bat like ears and fluffiness and agrees. This is definitely their child now.

I just like the idea of them getting attached at first sight not because the kid looks like them mixed together, but because of the features that remind them of the one they love.

Also, with Ear being so fluffy even in his child state contrasting with Machete not being fluffy till growing up, I think ear will be Extra Fluffy when he gets older. Chow levels of fluffy.
