"I like dogs" I remember that small sentence being one of the things that made Hank and I friends. It took him a while to get used to me but now I think he kinda likes me.
Hank and I were walking Sumo, his big fluffy Saint Bernard before we went to work. It was early in the morning so there weren't many people on the streets. It was quiet, nice. You could hear the morning birds sing, and for once the lake still as we walked passed. No children throwing rocks and screaming. Just calm and still.
"This is nice," I said turning my head to Hank. He stopped, Sumo looked up at him with his big brown eyes.
"Yeah...I've missed this."
"Why, Lieutenant?"
"Ah, it's nothing, come on Sumo!" Hank started to jog leaving me confused. Realizing I should probably catch up, I ran towards him.
"Connor! Jesus, when did you get so fast?"
"It's one of my new upgrades, it's better to catch thieves who runaway"
"Huh, yeah I guess"
The rest of the jog was in silence, Sumo basically pulling Hank on. Both Sumo and Hank planted heavily, but I was fine.
"Alright, I'm done"
"Already lieutenant? Sumo could use more of a run. I've estimated his weight as 170, a little heavy for a dog his size"
"It's the fur!"
"I'm not so sure lieutenant"
"Connor are you calling my dog FAT?!"
"Yes"
Hank said something foul and handed me the leash.
"Whatever, you run him"
"Okay!" I smiled and looked down at Sumo.
"Ready?". I ran Sumo in front of me, the wind rippling through his brown and white fur. He ran with two paws at a time, almost leaping with each stride. I ran around the whole lake before I spotted Hank again. Sumo slowed, his tongue almost falling out of his face.
"On your left!" I called Hank. He turned face in shock.
"What? Huh? Did you already run the whole damn thing?"
"Yes, Sumo has now burned approximately 150
Calories, if we keep this up he could lose his fat and replace it with muscle"
"Ok.... you seriously ran the whole lake? Your not shitting me?"
"Yes, the whole lake, no...uh...shitting?"
"Huh, well it's 7:30 let's go back, I need to shower before work"
