The comm hosted this little event a couple of years ago, and as November 2 is an auspicious day for our darling Sam, today would be the perfect time to revisit this challenge. Welcome to the Triple Play 2015!

FILLED: Whats in a Job? 1/1

[cherry916]

I hope this isn't too weird. I set it to the Dog's POV because that seemed interesting to me. Hope you liked it ^^

Colt’s ears perk up at hearing Sam’s voice.

He’s attuned to his every noise and knows every one of his sounds. This sound most definitely is not a good sound.

Colt inches forward after a quick stretch and watches as Sam’s long legs swing over the edge of the bed. He knows this routine very well and keeps back and let’s Sam decide what is going on.

The last time Colt got to close to Sam when he was like this he wound up tripping Sam. Of all the things a dog can do for his master, tripping is definitely not on the list.

Colt’s been around for a long time.

Well, technically you could say Colt has been around hunters for a long time. His old master sadly lost his life on a tragic hunt, for which Colt had to witness.

Colt has changed hands quite a few times over the years but he must say that Sam is his favorite.

Not just because Sam gives the best belly scratches or sneaks him extra food when he thinks Dean isn’t looking; though those do count.

No, Sam was his favorite owner because Sam had a lot of compassion. If it is one thing dogs know best it is the amount of compassion a person has.

Sam bleeds compassion.

This is why Colt always gets upset at seeing Sam like this; blank and upset, listless and angry. Sam sometimes lashes out, never at Colt, but at inanimate objects then promptly cries himself back to sleep. Then other days Sam is perfectly normal.

Smiling and happy, takes Colt outside for walks, watches T.V, interacts with Dean.

It would almost be picture perfect.

Colt has learned however that the only thing that he can do for Sam when he gets in these moods is to offer silent companionship. It is of course what he does best.

So when Sam’s hand slowly uncurls from the fist he was making and hangs limply over the bed, an offering, Colt knows what his job is.

He gets up and walks slowly over to Sam. He sits down and waits patiently.

When that hand hits his head and slowly scratches Colt knows he has done his job.

Awwww, puppy therapy!

I got some terrible news yesterday and had a really hard day, but I got to spend part of it with the best dog in the world, and it made me feel so much better. So it's nice to see Sammy get the same kind of help. :)

Love that Colt belonged to other hunters before, too.

oh my goodness, this isn't weird at all! I love it to pieces and I love that the dog's name is Colt - so fitting for a hunter's service dog :)

thank you so much for this!!!

A wonderful choice of POV - it worked so well, and gave some an interesting spin on the fic! I very much enjoyed reading this :)

Aww, this is lovely! Giving us the dog's POV was a stroke of genius! ♥

I always feel for people who've never had dogs and can't understand the feeling of unquestioning love they give you.

And this was just beautiful. *Hugs Colt and Sam*

As someone who has a service dog, I have to say you really captured this perfectly.
