[Growlithe recognizes Rin's name. That's his awesome person! The one who feeds him lots of food and who would have been really mad to see the gear covered in doggie drool. Again. T-Bone the Growlithe dutifully carries the gear right to Rin who has been busy grooming Poochy's fur.]

" -- that's gotta feel a lot better, right girl?"

[Poochy yips in reply and T-Bone yips right along with her. He drops the gear right on Rin's lap and yips again. He done a good job, yup yup! Rin takes one look at the gear and sighs.]

...Seriously? I got you a chewy so you wouldn't go for this! Did you lose it again?
