Marshall and Rocket stood in front of a shop two days later. She looked over at her fellow firefighter nervously.
"Nervous?" Marshall asked.
She sighed.
"Yeah....a little bit."
Marshall leaned over and put his paw on her.
"Don't be. It'll be okay."
Rocket nodded and pushed open the door. Marshall followed her in.
"Um....Katie?"
The blonde looked at the source of the voice. She looked down, her eyes falling on Marshall, then on Rocket. Her eyes went wide. Rocket's green eyes were glistening with tears, making them ten times prettier than Marshall already thought they were. Katie dropped to her knees and extended out a hand. Rocket walked slowly forward and sniffed the hand that Katie was holding out. Then, she looked up at the girl, the tears running down her face.
"Katie..."
Katie nodded, her own waterworks escaping.
"Rocket..."
Katie extended her arms out, and the golden retriever pup jumped into them. She whined and nuzzled Katie's neck.
"My little pup..." Katie whispered, petting her back. "You're alive..."
"And you're alive..." Rocket responded quietly. "If you want I could fly."
Katie hugged the pup tightly, who whined again. Rocket looked over at Callie, who was watching the reunion silently.
The cat actually had had tears in her eyes, too. But they were nothing compared to the tears in the eyes of a blue eyed dalmatian.
That...was for sure.
But hey, it's not rocket science.

Dogs have feelings too.
