Had a humans are space orcs thought

So you know how humans almost universally like to pet animals no matter the size. (Yes I might want to pet a lion and I am not going to apologize for that. Well what if that is a trait that is unique to us/our planet?

Bounty hunting alien group with their new human crew mate lands on a planet to secure their target. After a brief search, the group encounters a guard dog… of sorts. A beast taller than a moose and built better than a bear snarls and growls, bearing its fangs. All members of the group back away slowly and ready their weapons. All, except the human who suddenly gets excited.

“Oh you’re so vicious aren’t you? Who’s a vicious beast? Whose a vicious beast? Yes you are.” The human says.

The rest of the group stares in disbelief at the human, who must have lost his mind. Wondering if they should intervene, but also kind of terrified of both the beast, and now, the human.

The beast leans in, inches away from the humans face, letting out a deep growl. The Human reaches up to pet the it, who quickly leans away, wondering what the furless bipedal is up to. Determined to pet the new animal, the human continues. His hand catching up to its head, he starts to scratch behind his ear.

The beast relaxes, experiencing a joy it never thought it wanted. A few minutes go by, and the beast lays down, relenting to the humans pets. Before long, it shows its stomach, not knowing why just reacting to a primal instinct it did not know existed.

“You want some belly rubs!” The human exclaims, rubbing the beasts belly.

Leg kicking away, the beast gets lost in the bliss for a few minutes, until the alien captain finally speaks up.

“Human, What are you doing. That beast is dangerous!” The captain barks.

“Are you a dangerous beast? Whose a dangerous beast?” The human exclaims, continuing to pet the beast.

“Human!” The captain shouts.

“It’s fine! See he likes it.” The human defends.

Not believing what they are seeing, the rest of the party continue on to find the target, leaving the human to bond with his new pet.
