I'll Protect My Master. How Dare You Come Here to Steal His Lifespan?

Ten years. I was one month away from paying off my mortgage when I lost my job and could no longer make the payments. The bank repossessed my house and auctioned it off.

Heartbroken, I jumped from the window of the house I had bought. The sixth floor wasn't very high, but a branch from a tree in the landscaped grounds below went straight in through the back of my head and out through my mouth...

In my previous life, I worked like a dog.

In my next life, I was reincarnated as a dog. I finally found a wife and son, but just like before, I was still working like a dog.

One day, a weasel spirit came to borrow its master's life. If the three incense sticks burned down before we could drive it away, the master's life would be stolen. As an exceptionally clever dog, I couldn't let that happen...

I've really worried myself sick over this...
