Porthos looked up from his pillow on the floor. He hoped against hope that daddy would be finally coming to get him.
"Ah, good boy," the alien said as Porthos came over and sat, wagging his tail as he was patted on the head and given some cheese.
"Why any creature would find this appealing is beyond me," the hairy man said. Porthos wagged his tail a little harder.
I've been good today! Porthos said as they went for a walk. I didn't bark and I ate all my food and played really quiet, no banging on the wall!
He was very proud of himself. Porthos had high hopes that if he was very good, they would bring him back to his dad and Hoshi would take him for walks again and Trip would sneak him meat from the table.
His spirits fell a little as his new master met up with a friend who looked upon him with distain before striking up a conversation.
The little dog fell a few steps behind the Xindi Primates, allowing them to talk. He took a few moments to study the walls around him. They weren't like those on Enterprise. They weren't as predictable. Nothing in the doorways for him to jump over, too many straight lines and not enough curves.
It was boring here. The walks were too short and to top it all off, there was no ball in the cargo bay to play with.
There was, however, an abundance of cheese and meat, just for him.
"Come Porthos, let's go home," his master said. Porthos stopped and furrowed his brow for a moment.
Where'd the other one go? he thought as he looked around for a moment. He quickly realized that he had fallen behind and broke out in a run, careful not to get too far ahead.
"Good boy." Porthos� new master gave him another pat on the head as they entered their quarters. Porthos quickly jumped up on the bed after the alien gave him permission. He found a choice spot near the window and settling himself down to look out of it. Maybe he'd see dad's ship and they'd take him home.
