Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenaged Blockhead is a 2004 fanfiction play (or an "unauthorized parody") by Bert V. Royal.A Darker and Edgier take on the Peanuts universe, the show starts with the death of Snoopy and Woodstock, and somehow only manages to get more depressing from there. Due to copyright and trademark issues, none of the characters go by their official Peanuts-verse names.There is a sequel in the works called The Gospel According to Matt: Confessions of a Teenage Dirtbag, themed around Matt. | |

Darker and Edgier: Oh, yes. The play is an unauthorized parody of Peanuts. It's essentially a Dark Fic, with the story starting with Snoopy having rabies and only getting grimmer from there. | |

| Dog Sees God (Theatre) / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Marcie freaks out when Beethoven shows up, saying her parents will kill her if they find out there was a gay person in the house. While she's throwing a Wild Teen Party while her parents are out of town. CB is quick to point out that that's probably actually pretty far down on the list of reasons they've given her parents to get mad. | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
| Dog Sees God (Theatre) / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: As is typical of a Peanuts-inspired story. CB and Beethoven develop an interest in each other, even though CB was dating Van's sister (who herself was briefly in love with Beethoven when they were kids) until she was arrested for arson. Meanwhile, Van likes CB's sister, who likes Beethoven. Tricia and Marcie initially like Matt and CB, respectively, although Marcie grows more attracted to Matt after they sleep together. And finally, as is revealed as the play goes on, Matt is in love with CB, and is intensely jealous of the attention CB is receiving from Beethoven. | |

| Dog Sees God (Theatre) / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: CB's sister is one in-universe, judging by her original performance of her "Cocooning Into Platypus" play. Although it's later subverted by her final performance after Beethoven's death. Van's sister also qualifies. Partly justified in that she's drugged up on lithium during her only appearance. | |

No Name Given: To get around copyrights, Snoopy and Woodstock are referred to by species. For presumably similar reasons, Sally and Lucy are never given actual names. The script calls them "CB's Sister" and "Van's Sister" respectively, and the other characters don't address or refer to them by name. | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending | |

"Ray of Hope" Ending: Beethoven commits suicide after Matt breaks his hands, but CB gets a letter from his pen pal (all but stated to be Charles M. Schulz himself) that encourages him to keep hoping for good things and tells him he's a good person, and implies that Beethoven, CB's dog, and the little yellow bird are happy in the afterlife. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Dog Sees God (Theatre) / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: It's implied that Tricia's surname is "York". In canon, Peppermint Patty's name is Patricia Reichardt. For copyright reasons, everyone goes by an alias. The exceptions are Frieda (who is only referenced and does not appear in the show) and Marcie (whose name is spelled "Marcy" but pronounced the same way). Most of the aliases are similar in some way to the characters' original names, except for Sally and Lucy (who are never given names of their own, only referred to as "[CB/Van]'s Sister") and Beethoven. | |
