Abandoned by his parents as a child and raised in a gambling den, Gyeon Heeseong.
He does not hesitate to take on rough tasks for the sake of the older brother who accepted him into the group, but when he is turned into a puppy due to an injury from an attack, he is picked up by Yoon Chi-young.
“What’s with this scruffy puppy?”
‘Let go… you bastard!’
Suddenly, Gyeon Heeseong becomes Yoon Chi-young’s puppy, known as the man-eating wolf.
“The pheromones are almost undetectable. It’s just a puppy.”
‘Quack.’
However, even the doctor judges Heeseong as a mere puppy, so Heeseong decides to deceive Yoon Chi-young by pretending to be a puppy and then escape.
But Yoon Chi-young is a lunatic who never lets the puppy out of his arms.
“I even gave you a treat… Can’t you give me just one kiss?”
‘Sigh…’
Although Heeseong becomes the recipient of affection and care from Yoon Chi-young, whom he fears, their cohabitation is precarious.
“Puppy… I don’t think I’ll eat you.”
‘You, you’re insane.’
The story of the cohabitation of a puppy who just wants to escape from the man-eating wolf, and the man-eating wolf who has lost his heart to such a puppy.
▶A Quick Taste
“I’m sorry, okay? Please forgive me this once.”
“……”
“I’ll never leave your side again. I promise.”
‘Don’t try to act cute!’
If only he had left him alone, he would have cooled down on his own. But being coaxed with a handsome face, the puppy was utterly infuriated. Heeseong attacked Yoon Chi-young’s hand as soon as he saw it and barked fiercely.
Woof! Woof!
“What’s that? You like me so much? Want to go home quickly?”
Yoon Chi-young, petting the puppy, asked Ji Yeong-bae, a subordinate of the canine tribe. Despite continuously being bitten by the puppy, he always thought romantically. And Ji Yeong-bae always responded honestly.
“Yes, sir… He’s saying, ‘You bastard.’”
“So damn cute…. Okay, let’s go home and be alone together.”

Let the images load. They'll be worth it. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
‿︵‿︵ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ・❀・ ʚ˚̣̣̣͙ɞ‿︵‿︵
I read the manhwa (Korean webtoon) twice last year, and upon its completion, I decided to also read the FTL (fan translation) of its web novel. Seeing them fall in love with each other for a third time, to see much of the actual webtoon's dialogue included, to have some more insight into their relationship after the side stories made it so very worth my while. 😇 Their blossoming romance, cheeky banter, and swoon-worthy separation anxiety was as scrumptious as ever, but in the most sickeningly sweet way, that my heart was full once more. 🥰
Don't Mess With the Pooch officially aka Paws and Claws is an adorable fluffalicious shifter story between 27yo Wolfie, Yoon Chi-young, the Enforcer who gets rid of troublemaker and traitors, and 21yo pup, Gyeon Heeseong, the Casino's fighting dog. One night after a planned attack on his life, Chi-young finds Heeseong injured in his puppy state in the alley behind the Casino, he takes him home with him, unwittingly under his care in enemy territory, as he regains his strength to revert back to his human form, while also trying to keep his identity hidden from Chi-young - or so he thinks. 😏
“Ah, so cute I could die.”
‘What?’
“Eat up and recover quickly. So I can eat you in winter.”
This manhwa is full of the fuzzy and furry feelings that just melt the heart. The most precious kind of puppy love there is. It has snark, it has comedy, it has heart, - so much of the chomp chomp overflowing of affection of sweet and spice that there's no denying how perfect they are for each other - outcasts from their own clans, but so fortunate to find acceptance and warmth with each other. 🫠🤍🩷
“I was born to love you. You're the only one for me.”
Yoon Chi-young isn't a green flag, he's a whole damn forest, a true keeper. 💚😍💚 Sexy and sneaky, protective and possessive, he is so whipped for Heeseong, so considerate for his beloved well-fed puppy with a bad personality, but pulls out his claws for any who dares harm him, even himself. Keeping his pheromones in check, controlling his shapeshifting, his kindness is as attractive as his happy and handsome looks.
But, don't think lightly of Heeseong, you really don't want to mess with this pooch, in any form. His bark is worse than his bite, and he made me laugh so freely. 😆 He's the uke that you want all ukes to be like, so in control, so badass, but still so vulnerable in his affections, and so hesitant to trust the love Chi-young has freely given him. And yet he'll do anything to keep him safe, rising to his defense without hesitation against a family's expectations that honestly did not deserve him. 😤
He was the pup of memes, too - so so funny. 😆 A boost of serotonin that had my gallery overflowing with his multitude of reactions - from comical to outrageous, to conniving to relatable, I could totally see why Chi-young, the Big Bad Wolf that he was, wanted to gobble him up in his warm embrace... losing their minds and entangling their bodies together felt heart-wrenchingly delightful. 😳 Cuteness overload with inner dialogue so savage it was impossible not to see how Chi-young was wrapped around his little paw, despite how much it annoyed Heeseong to no end.

“If anyone's throwing shade, it's gonna be me.. cause I'm his fucking guardian.”
From their hysterical banter to this kindness and ease and warmth that they showed each other, every moment was a delight. Season One's finale was such an emotional breakthrough. Heeseong's confession of his deepest fear that Chi-young will abandon him, too, like his family did. 😢 Chi-young's gentle reassurance that he's so very deserving of love. As Heeseong' s tears fell and Chi-young chided him with the patience and tenderness that they were forever meant to be, that he's the air that he breathes - I turned into a gooey fluffball, too. 🥲💓
It wasn't all sweet feels. They were a couple of horn dogs and weren't shy about it either! Our Wolfie staked his claim more than once in some hot and heavy action that matched each other's freaks. ❤️🔥🫣 Rough, frisky mating, spicy, sexy, and rawr! Once knotting's over, let's fuck like real dogs. 🫠🫠 Heated desire ripped out of their systems, claw for paw in every intimate detail, with the added bonus of some hilarious petty jealousy thrown into the mix.
“Having someone love me just as I am... Is one hell of a good feeling.”
The artwork and writing was so on point. Paw-fect pacing, deliciously entertaining, and heartwarmingly satisfying. The beautiful art captured their emotions and expressions so very well - soft, feral, horny - everything worked. 🤌🏻🤌🏻 The colors are so rich in capturing the love and laughter, the angst and feels. Whether it was them in their canine forms, or professing their love as humans - it was so pure and wholesome - fiery and feisty, but just full of love and happiness, both desperately waited, one for the other. 🐺💞🐶
A comfort read that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Yes, it's a long review, but they deserved nothing less. 😌💝

“I'm so glad I didn't kill you.
You asshole. I was so scared.”
“Our puppy whimpers every night, saying it doesn’t hurt, begging not to leave… How could I possibly sleep peacefully knowing you’re having such nightmares?”
“Just the fact that Heeseong stayed by his side without getting hurt or changing made his heart ache and his eyes hot. His nightmare could change.” 🥺
“I've never understood why you're into me. I've been nothing but a total dick to you.” 😣
“What I thought was a coincidence then. Now feels like it was destiny all along. It's hard to believe that the aggression I hated about myself... Just disappears when I'm with you.”
“Uh… Honestly, I think I could live without you.”
Grrr….
“Listen until the end.”
The wolf growled as if whining.
“Even if I can live, it’s just… It doesn’t feel like living.” ❤️🩹❤️🩹
“Are u okay?
Of course I am. I found you, didn't I.” 🥹🥹

this is might have been the cutest i have ever read this year. both the manhwa and novel are so good i keep on going back to reread all over again. i love the dynamics between the puppy gyeon heesung and the wolfie yoon chiyoung. PLS THE WAY YOON CHIYOUNG OBSSESS OVER THE CUTENESS OF THE PUPPY IS SO UNDERSTANDABLE. && the way they healed each other's childhood trauma makes me think that they are really meant for each other. the extra chapters are cute also!! their marriage life and them having kids is the best thing i've ever read.

so u may be thinking “Lulu u haven’t read a book in months and months literally how did u finish this in one day”. well kind sir there is nothing like some fluffy bl to get you out of a reading slump!!!! I found out abt this cuz there’s a manhwa version coming out rn but I desperately wanted to know what happened so I read the novel! this was so cute omg TT. unironically I was reading this for most of the day and I don’t regret a thing. oh my god how adorable!!!! the fluff was so good, had me giggling and squirming around. the smut on the other hand 🤨 mega eyebrow emoji. well! u could say it was the norm for bl, however that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it. def felt a little rapey. for sure. bro was literally crying out to stop and not do these things???! the knotting?? ugh dhmu abt that. how many times did Heeseong have to say no 😭😭 that he didn’t want it. but chi-young did not gaf I fear. I get it like he’s got all these pheromones or whatever but I am sick and tired of that excusing literal rape!!!! however, even though heeseong called out these things, all his inner dialogue seemed okay. and he definitely reflected on the experience only positively. which is the norm I guess for these bls. (this is literally just copium). have to keep reminding myself this is normal and they pretend it’s consent bc it’s attractive for them to be forced into something??? 😭🤨 well. even though the smut at first seemed very out of character for them, I adjusted and it began to suit their characters more, so I was fulfilled ig. The character and relationship development was good too UGHHH. the whole thing where chi-young revealed he knew he was a puppy and then was like “I was raising you as a lover” 😭😭😭 omg so funny but also adorable for sure. then he had to adjust! plus heeseong was realising his fondness for chi-young sm!!! before he left LOL. then their relationship developed still and he realised he had feelings 🙃 omg. SAUUURRRR adorable. the whole Hodu situation is funny af too like them realising they were both getting jealous over a 7 y/o 😭😭😭. another thing is how good it feels to see the villains suffer UGHHH feels amazing 🔥. heeseong’s freaking brother!? omg he has my whole fist ❤️ in his balls. cuz he is not allowed to have family if that’s how he treats his “brother”. like tf?? literally stole all his earnings and used him for money! obviously from the beginning he was a pos but I still TT.
that scenario when they were both back in their true forms playing in the snow together warmed my heart more than anything oh my god!! anywho was great just had a few minor concerns… all in all 4.5 I enjoyed this to the max
Update: I finished reading all the extras!!! they’re so cute omg I was actually tweaking and awwwing reading it. the one where they take time away for 3 days and he meets chi-young’s mum 😭😭 so adorable bro and she’s like “I already accepted him as my other son” !!!!!!!!!! kill me now

This was the cutest most wholesome story ever 😭🩷😭🩷 The way Heesung is so sassy, fearless, ready to protect Chi-young but also just the fluffiest ball of sweetness. And how Chi-young adores and takes care of his pup 😭 He is literally the greenest flag ever. They are so perfect for each other. I loved this so much.

An incredibly cute and funny story that i could have read 10 more books about.
*spoilers ahead*
Felt quite let down with the lack of confrontation with his Hyung, though. The fact that he never even sees him or seems to enact any form of revenge, despite it being the main reason for him choosing to remain with Chiyeong initially, was disappointing.

Cuando conocí de su existencia creí sería una historia corta, debido a la distribución de capítulos que eran bastante pocos a los que estaba acostumbrada. Pero vaya sorpresa mía cuando comencé a leer y descubrí que en realidad los capítulos están divididos en varias partes y abarca dos volúmenes +Epilogo+Extras.
Conocí sobre la historia raíz de su manhwa, el cual ganó a mejor nuevo manhwa en Lezhin, por lo que indudablemente ganó mi interés y terminé en una sentada los capítulos publicados al momento. Debido a los pocos capítulos en ese entonces, mi curiosaidad no estaba satisfecha, por el contrario, me encontraba expectante sobre los sucesos futuros e interrogante por misterios del pasado. Así que, decidí buscar su novela.
Al inicio la lectura fue lenta, puesto que conocía los eventos iniciales y había sido en un corto periodo de tiempo para que la repetición no fuera cansada. Después por qué se cruzó con otras lectura y hubo periodos de suspensiones. Pero después, enfocada solo en ella, pude avanzar a un ritmo constante. En algunas partes, de máximo interés, era incluso más rápido. Pero al final, me tomó más de lo que imagine. Es divertido, porque fue completamente en contra de mis predicciones. Pero bueno, supongo que así son algunas lecturas. Eso no significa que no la haya disfrutado, lo hice.
Aunque cada autor tiene su propio estilo, es inefable que existen rasgos característicos de acuerdo a la región geográfica. En lo personal, las novelas coreanas no son algo que lea con regularidad. Puede que sea mera percepción, pero su estilo no es de mis preferidos. Por lo que solo leo extractos cuando quiero un spoiler concreto y raramente le doy oportunidad a una novela completa.
Sin embargo, como mencioné anteriormente, debido a la poca cantidad de capítulos que tenía el manhwa fue como opté por la novela.
La historia es bastante disfrutable. Mi personaje favorito fue sin duda Yoon Chi-young. Es un hombre encantador, con un corazón puro que fue obligado a convertirse en el guardián de su manada, llevando a cabo un trabajo que nunca quiso y siendo aislado por la naturaleza del mismo. Es complejo y, desde su perspectiva, la manada que siempre quiso era al mismo tiempo un sueño imposible. Uno esperaría que debido a este transfundo resultara difícil relacionarse y que una relación romántica escapara de sus manos tornándola tóxica. ¡Pero no! Es un hombre devoto a su pareja, cuya personalidad contrasta completamente con su imagen de guardián. Aunque, para ser justos, es solo así con su pareja. Esa faceta adorable es solo para vista exclusiva de Heeseong.
Heeseong es otro personaje con varias capaz dignas de analizar. Debido a su complejo de inferioridad a raíz de traumas de abandono, no confía fácilmente en las personas y Chu-young, con la reputación que le precede, no es posible darle su confianza de buenas a primeras. Sin embargo, Heeseong no se deja guiar solo por los rumores y su cautela es más por su personalidad que porque crea que Chi-young es peligroso, al menos no como todo el mundo cree. Así que crea su propia opinión de él y lentamente crean un vínculo de confianza que se transforma en un sólido romance. Ambos ayudándose mutuamente a sanar sus heridas del pasado y construyendo un lugar seguro.
Claro que, desde la perspectiva de Chi-young fue amor a primera vista y desde el primer momento fue claro con sus sentimientos, cortejándolo. Es un amor; de verdad. Heeseong aceptó lentamente estos afectos, al principio por desconfianza y después por miedo al abandono. Pero como dije, a través de la ayuda mutua y su amor pudieron vencer los demonios del pasado. Heeseong ayudó a que Chi-young aceptara su naturaleza y se dejara de resentir por su forma de lobo; al punto en que era capaz de estar consciente cuando se transforma y es que Heeseong consentía a su lobo como nadie más podía. Por supuesto que Chi-young también ayudó a su manera a Heeseong, demostrando que su amor era para toda la vida y nunca lo dejaría. Y como no, si los lobos solo aman una vez. ¿Por qué no es así en la vida real? Más hombres como él, pro favor.
No estoy segura de si en la edición de Goodread se incluyen también los extras, pero supondré que si para marcar todo aquí. Y es que la estructura de la novela me parece algo extraña. Porque el final de la novela no se sentía como tal, sino más bien como el final de un capítulo o quizás un volumen. ¡Tenía muchas dudas! Muchas cosas sin resolver. Todo eso fue resultó en los extras, los cuales a mi parecer, varios de ellos pudieron ser parte de la novela principal. Pero bueno, decisión del autor.
Lo único que puedo decir es que, si buscan una historia ligera y agradable para pasar el rato, esta es su historia. Recomendada.

Ambos ayudándose mutuamente a sanar sus heridas del pasado y construyendo un lugar seguro.
Claro que, desde la perspectiva de Chi-young fue amor a primera vista y desde el primer momento fue claro con sus sentimientos, cortejándolo. Es un amor; de verdad. Heeseong aceptó lentamente estos afectos, al principio por desconfianza y después por miedo al abandono. Pero como dije, a través de la ayuda mutua y su amor pudieron vencer los demonios del pasado. Heeseong ayudó a que Chi-young aceptara su naturaleza y se dejara de resentir por su forma de lobo; al punto en que era capaz de estar consciente cuando se transforma y es que Heeseong consentía a su lobo como nadie más podía. Por supuesto que Chi-young también ayudó a su manera a Heeseong, demostrando que su amor era para toda la vida y nunca lo dejaría. Y como no, si los lobos solo aman una vez. ¿Por qué no es así en la vida real? Más hombres como él, pro favor.
No estoy segura de si en la edición de Goodread se incluyen también los extras, pero supondré que si para marcar todo aquí. Y es que la estructura de la novela me parece algo extraña. Porque el final de la novela no se sentía como tal, sino más bien como el final de un capítulo o quizás un volumen. ¡Tenía muchas dudas! Muchas cosas sin resolver. Todo eso fue resultó en los extras, los cuales a mi parecer, varios de ellos pudieron ser parte de la novela principal. Pero bueno, decisión del autor.
Lo único que puedo decir es que, si buscan una historia ligera y agradable para pasar el rato, esta es su historia. Recomendada.

4.5 stars rounded up. This is so ridiculously cute. Stupid and silly and just fun. There are a couple of hairy moments that might be off-putting for people who are only reading for pure fluff, but nothing bad actually happens. Their personalities are a little under-developed in the sense that they just hit the same notes over and over again, but those notes ring true: a big bad scary wolf who is secretly tender-hearted and wishes someone would see past his fangs, and a tiny scrappy dog who hates being looked down on and worries about being abandoned again. They're perfect for each other and have each other's backs in the ways they really need.
I have only one minor quibble, which is that the plot/storyboarding is sometimes a little abrupt with the flow of the story not being perfectly smooth. Big moments get glossed over a little, and then other things get 15 unnecessary panels to make sure you've gotten all the fluff in great detail. But this is hardly a deal breaker for an otherwise stellar story which is just a joy to read.
Overall, what a fun, silly, lovely story about two misfits who match each other perfectly.

This was the most beautiful story in the woooorld!~ Honestly, it’s just incredible. I absolutely love the personalities of both characters. I especially adore how Puppy starts to open up more and more as the story progresses—he becomes less afraid to show his feelings. And Wolfie… I truly believe he’s the most amazing man in the world. To me, he’s the perfect standard of a man, 100%.
love it 🤍
love it 🤍

Aún recordaba lo lindo que era todo, realmente de los mejores subgéneros es el de híbridos mas cuando lo hacen así de tierno, me encanta como dos loquitos cursis sin cariño en casa acabaron siendo una familia funcional ㅠ_ㅠ, goodreads es una pendejo que no me deja ponerle 4,5 estrellas que tiene eso simplemente porque no tuvieron cachorros al final :c

The manhwa adaptation is nice and it has a pretty art style, but the novel hits different. A must read. Heeseong and Yoon Chi young‘s relationship dynamic is one of my favorite things esp in the novel
