Sam looked into the eager brown eyes staring up at him. A wide grin spilt onto his face as he feinted forward. A disapproving look was sent his way with a light whine. Seconds past…silence…
“Rrrrrrr!”
The blonde laughed finally biffing the ball across the empty parking lot and the dog shot off like a bullet after it. Sam waited patiently as the German Sheppard grabbed the tennis ball and turned on a dime to come back to him. His face spilt into the largest smile he had worn in quiet some time as he ruffled the dog’s ears when it dropped the tennis ball at his feet. “Who’s a good boy, huh Gus? You got that mean old ball didn’t you?”
Picking up the slobber covered toy Sam whipped it once more across the lot and watched with amusement as the dog shot off again. Only this time when the animal got the ball and started back, Gus stopped a few feet away from Sam and dropped the toy on the ground to stare at the blonde, almost as if he was waiting for him.
Sam cocked his head to the side staring at the dog. “What is it boy?” Moving forward to pick up the ball Gus dropped his head and chomped down on his ball before running a few feet away. The sniper raised an eyebrow at the drug sniffing dog that had set the ball back on the ground and was waiting for him once more. Getting the idea Sam darted for the ball but left enough time for Gus to snatch his toy back once more before the two of them were off, the human now chasing the animal.

Jules watched across the yard, her lip curling up in a grin as Sam wrapped his arm around the dog’s torso and the dog stopped letting the sniper fall to the ground in a heap. Brown eyes sparkled as Gus quickly leapt onto Sam’s stomach and sat down.
“What’s going on?” Lou asked coming up on the woman’s side.
“Sam just got pwned by a dog.” Jules replied with a smirk as they turned to watch the duo in the parking lot.
A moment past in silence before Lou chuckled. “Didn’t think he had it in him.”
The brunette frowned turning to her friend. “Had what in him?”
“Nothin’,” Lou shrugged, “Just never thought he was able to laugh like that.”
Jules let her eyes fall slowly back to the blonde who had finally managed to climb to his feet. She took in the wayward smile that finally seemed to reach his eyes, the tight lines around jaw were gone too, even his laughter seemed light, and then she understood what Lou meant. She had never seen him that happy, had never heard him laugh like that. None of them had.
They both found it strange and amusing that all it took was one dog to show them a whole new side to their team-mate.
