!! This fanfic provides examples of:
* {{Because You Were Nice to me}}: Bingo spends the third chapter and most of the following chapter being wary at best of Nathan, justified as she's younger. After Nathan gives her first-aid when she ends up injuring herself, she instantly warms up to him.
* {{Bitch In Sheeps Clothing}}: [[spoiler: Hailey Husky, who initially appears to have feelings for Nathan fueled by her "affection for humans". Cue the next chapter onward where Hailey stands Nathan up and reveals her interest in humans to be all a lie just to screw with him.]]
* {{Break the Cutie}}: Nathan when he finds out [[spoiler:that his parents were killed by the plane crash.]]
** Then again in the climax of the fourteenth chapter.
* {{Captain Ersatz}}: The Canistralia Personal Investigators Association (CPIA) is evidently Canistralia's version of the {{UsefulNotes/CIA}}.
* {{Darker and Edgier}}: As is usually common with fanfics, especially ones about children-aimed shows. The fanfic is full of moments that certainly justify it's ''Teen'' rating including the mention of war and use of mild profanity.
* {{Dark and Troubled Past}}: Mackenzie is hinted to have had this regarding humans, justifying his distrust towards Nathan.
* {{Dream Sequence}}: Nathan has a few of these, which are eventually revealed to be flashbacks of what lead to him ending up in Canistralia.
* {{Call Back}}: Due to the story taking place during the second season, the story has multiple references and nods to events of the show's previous episodes.
* {{Easy Amnesia}}: Nathan suffers from this at the very start to the point of even initially forgetting his own name.
* {{Fantastic Racism}}: Poor Nathan suffers quite a lot of this during the fic, especially in the earlier chapters, evidently due to him being the only human being present in Bluey's region. The United Nations after forcing almost all of the remaining bipedal dogs to migrate to Canistralia following the New Zealand War can qualify as well.
** [[spoiler: [[BitchInSheepsClothing Hailey]] straight up cheats on and humiliates Nathan solely just because he's a human.]]
* {{First Person Perspective}}: The fanfic (sans one scene) is all written in Nathan's point of view.
* {{Flashback Nightmare}}: Nathan experiences one of these near the end of the third chapter, focusing on himself and two shadow figures in the cockpit of the plane which suddenly crash lands before he wakes up.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The brief nightmare Nathan has (see Flashback Nightmare above) is eventually revealed to be the events that lead to Nathan becoming stranded in the forest at the start of the story to begin with.
* {{From Bad to Worse}}: The seventh chapter is this from start to finish, starting with Nathan being assaulted by a mother dog (whom thought he was trying to scare or hurt her son) and ending with Nathan discovering [[spoiler:his parents' charred lifeless bodies.]]
* {{Full Name Ultimatum}}: Used by Chilli towards Bluey when the former learns that she had snuck Nathan to school.
** Wendy inflicts this on Judo when the latter refers to Nathan as a "thing".
* {{Interspecies Romance}}: Discussed on and experimented with in the 13th and 14th chapter respectively. On the former, Nathan is indecisive on even considering it due to the legality of a (anthropomorphic) dog-and-human romantic relationship being left ambiguous.
* {{Kick the Dog}}: Nathan spends six chapters hoping to one day see his mother and father again. He finally does in the next chapter, [[spoiler: both burned to death from the plane crash]].
** [[spoiler:Hailey inflicts this on Nathan when she not only deliberately lets Nathan walk in on her kissing her boyfriend but reveals that her feelings for him were made up before finishing with a painful slap just to rub salt in the wound.]]
* {{Meaningful Name}}: The region that Bluey and the other bipedal dogs live in is named "Canistralia", a mashup of the words "Canine" and "Australia".
* {{Oh Crap}}: Muttered word for word by Nathan himself in the fifth chapter after spotting Chilli, who had been made aware of Bluey taking the human to school despite being told not to by Bandit.
* {{Otaku}}: Nathan is implied to be one due to him being a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragon Ball Z]] fan.
* {{Precision F Strike}}: [[spoiler:Hailey's boyfriend after witnessing her humiliate Nathan laughs and playfully calls her a "bitch".]]
* {{Pseudo Canonical Fic}}: The story takes place during the series' second season as hinted by two of the chapters being based on the episode, 'Charades'. Even confirmed by the author himself.
* {{Rousing Speech}}: Wendy gives a pretty good one to Nathan during the eigth chapter [[spoiler: after learning of his deceased parents, telling him that they wouldn't want to see him grow up remaining depressed over his loss of them.]]
* {{Pun Based Title}}: The tenth chapter, "A Stroke of Luck(y)" has this due to Bluey's neighbour, Lucky appearing in said chapter.
* {{Shared Universe}}: It's eventually revealed that the region Bluey and the dog citizens reside in is otherwise known as "Canistralia" and exists in the same world as humans do, but is taken off of the official maps in human-residing regions and vice versa.
* {{Shout Out}}: The second part of the 'Charade Antics' chapters has Nathan enter a [[DreamSequence dream sequence]] where he encounters his late grandfather in the cabin of a moving train, referencing a [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour similar dream scene involving a deceased guardian and a train as the environment.]]
** [[spoiler:The climax in the 14th chapter where Hailey delivers a very nasty slap to Nathan after lying to him about her feelings is reminiscent of an equally as painful scene from the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sonic Archie comics]].]]
* {{Sole Survivor}}: Nathan is this for the duration of the first two chapters, having been separated from his parents. Becomes harsher when he finds out [[spoiler:neither of his parents survived the plane crash that stranded him in the first place.]]
* {{Spiders Are Scary}}: Nathan has the misfortune of encountering the rotting skeletal remains of another human inside a cave surrounded by tarantulas. Whilst their name is never actually said out loud, the description Nathan gives about them implies that they're very likely ''Queensland whistling tarantulas'', which are often regarded as Australia's largest tarantula. Nathan then nearly has one bite him, but he luckily manages to flee.
* {{Throw The Dog A Bone}}: After having to deal with nothing but wary looks and a few cases of aggression from the other bipedal dogs for nine chapters, Nathan is finally accepted by the population of Canistralia on the tenth chapter as a citizen rather than a wild animal.
* {{Yank the Dogs Chain}}: [[spoiler:Inflicted by Hailey onto Nathan (the former appeared to show genuine romantic interest in the human on the previous chapter) when she straight up dumps him for a boyfriend she already has, just because Nathan is a human. The chapter's title even lampshades this.]]
* {{We Used to Be Friends}}: Bluey's dog species and the majority of the human population at one point, their relationship with many of the humans' United Nations however was strained at best due to the latter fearing that the canines may attempt an attack on them. Cue the New Zealand War and the many world nations ultimately forced almost every single bipedal dog out of their regions, making them migrate to Canistralia. (Some regions however still house these bipedal dogs, supposedly as a form of protest against the immigration.)
* {{Wham Line}}:
-->'''Nathan''': [[spoiler:"M-Mom...? Dad?" I barely squeaked out in disbelief as I looked at the two human corpses on the beds, which not only had several limbs bent outwards in directions they shouldn't be but most of their bodies were charred probably from the fire that resulted from the plane crash.]]
-->'''Nathan''': I tried to recall what Lucky had said to me before running off, trying to translate what the mumbles came out as until at last, I finally figured out what he said just before everything went black. [[spoiler:''Mackenzie is from New Zealand...'']]
* {{Would Hurt a Child}}: The Bassett Hound that Nathan encounters in the second chapter reacts to the latter's presence with understandable panic before bringing out a shotgun. Partially justified due to Nathan being an abnormal creature to said hound.

!! This fanfic provides examples of:
* {{Because You Were Nice to me}}: Bingo spends the third chapter and most of the following chapter being wary at best of Nathan, justified as she's younger. After Nathan gives her first-aid when she ends up injuring herself, she instantly warms up to him.
* {{Bitch In Sheeps Clothing}}: [[spoiler: Hailey Husky, who initially appears to have feelings for Nathan fueled by her "affection for humans". Cue the next chapter onward where Hailey stands Nathan up and reveals her interest in humans to be all a lie just to screw with him.]]
* {{Break the Cutie}}: Nathan when he finds out [[spoiler:that his parents were killed by the plane crash.]]
** Then again in the climax of the fourteenth chapter.
* {{Captain Ersatz}}: The Canistralia Personal Investigators Association (CPIA) is evidently Canistralia's version of the {{UsefulNotes/CIA}}.
* {{Darker and Edgier}}: As is usually common with fanfics, especially ones about children-aimed shows. The fanfic is full of moments that certainly justify it's ''Teen'' rating including the mention of war and use of mild profanity.
* {{Dark and Troubled Past}}: Mackenzie is hinted to have had this regarding humans, justifying his distrust towards Nathan.
* {{Dream Sequence}}: Nathan has a few of these, which are eventually revealed to be flashbacks of what lead to him ending up in Canistralia.
* {{Call Back}}: Due to the story taking place during the second season, the story has multiple references and nods to events of the show's previous episodes.
* {{Easy Amnesia}}: Nathan suffers from this at the very start to the point of even initially forgetting his own name.
* {{Fantastic Racism}}: Poor Nathan suffers quite a lot of this during the fic, especially in the earlier chapters, evidently due to him being the only human being present in Bluey's region. The United Nations after forcing almost all of the remaining bipedal dogs to migrate to Canistralia following the New Zealand War can qualify as well.
** [[spoiler: [[BitchInSheepsClothing Hailey]] straight up cheats on and humiliates Nathan solely just because he's a human.]]
* {{First Person Perspective}}: The fanfic (sans one scene) is all written in Nathan's point of view.
* {{Flashback Nightmare}}: Nathan experiences one of these near the end of the third chapter, focusing on himself and two shadow figures in the cockpit of the plane which suddenly crash lands before he wakes up.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The brief nightmare Nathan has (see Flashback Nightmare above) is eventually revealed to be the events that lead to Nathan becoming stranded in the forest at the start of the story to begin with.
* {{From Bad to Worse}}: The seventh chapter is this from start to finish, starting with Nathan being assaulted by a mother dog (whom thought he was trying to scare or hurt her son) and ending with Nathan discovering [[spoiler:his parents' charred lifeless bodies.]]
* {{Full Name Ultimatum}}: Used by Chilli towards Bluey when the former learns that she had snuck Nathan to school.
** Wendy inflicts this on Judo when the latter refers to Nathan as a "thing".
* {{Interspecies Romance}}: Discussed on and experimented with in the 13th and 14th chapter respectively. On the former, Nathan is indecisive on even considering it due to the legality of a (anthropomorphic) dog-and-human romantic relationship being left ambiguous.
* {{Kick the Dog}}: Nathan spends six chapters hoping to one day see his mother and father again. He finally does in the next chapter, [[spoiler: both burned to death from the plane crash]].
** [[spoiler:Hailey inflicts this on Nathan when she not only deliberately lets Nathan walk in on her kissing her boyfriend but reveals that her feelings for him were made up before finishing with a painful slap just to rub salt in the wound.]]
* {{Meaningful Name}}: The region that Bluey and the other bipedal dogs live in is named "Canistralia", a mashup of the words "Canine" and "Australia".
* {{Oh Crap}}: Muttered word for word by Nathan himself in the fifth chapter after spotting Chilli, who had been made aware of Bluey taking the human to school despite being told not to by Bandit.
* {{Otaku}}: Nathan is implied to be one due to him being a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Dragon Ball Z]] fan.
* {{Precision F Strike}}: [[spoiler:Hailey's boyfriend after witnessing her humiliate Nathan laughs and playfully calls her a "bitch".]]
* {{Pseudo Canonical Fic}}: The story takes place during the series' second season as hinted by two of the chapters being based on the episode, 'Charades'. Even confirmed by the author himself.
* {{Rousing Speech}}: Wendy gives a pretty good one to Nathan during the eigth chapter [[spoiler: after learning of his deceased parents, telling him that they wouldn't want to see him grow up remaining depressed over his loss of them.]]
* {{Pun Based Title}}: The tenth chapter, "A Stroke of Luck(y)" has this due to Bluey's neighbour, Lucky appearing in said chapter.
* {{Shared Universe}}: It's eventually revealed that the region Bluey and the dog citizens reside in is otherwise known as "Canistralia" and exists in the same world as humans do, but is taken off of the official maps in human-residing regions and vice versa.
* {{Shout Out}}: The second part of the 'Charade Antics' chapters has Nathan enter a [[DreamSequence dream sequence]] where he encounters his late grandfather in the cabin of a moving train, referencing a [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDeadSeasonFour similar dream scene involving a deceased guardian and a train as the environment.]]
** [[spoiler:The climax in the 14th chapter where Hailey delivers a very nasty slap to Nathan after lying to him about her feelings is reminiscent of an equally as painful scene from the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Sonic Archie comics]].]]
* {{Sole Survivor}}: Nathan is this for the duration of the first two chapters, having been separated from his parents. Becomes harsher when he finds out [[spoiler:neither of his parents survived the plane crash that stranded him in the first place.]]
* {{Spiders Are Scary}}: Nathan has the misfortune of encountering the rotting skeletal remains of another human inside a cave surrounded by tarantulas. Whilst their name is never actually said out loud, the description Nathan gives about them implies that they're very likely ''Queensland whistling tarantulas'', which are often regarded as Australia's largest tarantula. Nathan then nearly has one bite him, but he luckily manages to flee.
* {{Throw The Dog A Bone}}: After having to deal with nothing but wary looks and a few cases of aggression from the other bipedal dogs for nine chapters, Nathan is finally accepted by the population of Canistralia on the tenth chapter as a citizen rather than a wild animal.
* {{Yank the Dogs Chain}}: [[spoiler:Inflicted by Hailey onto Nathan (the former appeared to show genuine romantic interest in the human on the previous chapter) when she straight up dumps him for a boyfriend she already has, just because Nathan is a human. The chapter's title even lampshades this.]]
* {{We Used to Be Friends}}: Bluey's dog species and the majority of the human population at one point, their relationship with many of the humans' United Nations however was strained at best due to the latter fearing that the canines may attempt an attack on them. Cue the New Zealand War and the many world nations ultimately forced almost every single bipedal dog out of their regions, making them migrate to Canistralia. (Some regions however still house these bipedal dogs, supposedly as a form of protest against the immigration.)
* {{Wham Line}}:
-->'''Nathan''': [[spoiler:"M-Mom...? Dad?" I barely squeaked out in disbelief as I looked at the two human corpses on the beds, which not only had several limbs bent outwards in directions they shouldn't be but most of their bodies were charred probably from the fire that resulted from the plane crash.]]
-->'''Nathan''': I tried to recall what Lucky had said to me before running off, trying to translate what the mumbles came out as until at last, I finally figured out what he said just before everything went black. [[spoiler:''Mackenzie is from New Zealand...'']]
* {{Would Hurt a Child}}: The Bassett Hound that Nathan encounters in the second chapter reacts to the latter's presence with understandable panic before bringing out a shotgun. Partially justified due to Nathan being an abnormal creature to said hound.
