“Look how cute this one is!” You squealed in delight as you excitedly jogged over to a pen with a bulldog wagging its little tail. “What an adorable, wrinkly face!”

“Look at all the drool spilling out of its mouth.” Loki pointed out as he cringed.

You rolled your eyes and continued to fawn over the bulldog as it looked up at you with its big puppy dog eyes. Loki sighed, shaking his head and turned to the row of pens behind him. He walked down the line and scrutinized each dog, looking for one he deemed good enough. While you were looking for a new friend, he was looking for a bodyguard, a dog that would protect you while he was gone. So far, they’ve been too small, too shy, too drool, too much this or that. That is, until he came across a dog that was sitting there calmly with a look on its face that would describe as ‘extremely done.’ The dog looked unamused by everything going on around him and Loki scrunched his eyebrows together curiously at it. Loki stole a quick glance at you then looked back at the dog.

“Hello.” Loki nodded. The dog’s face didn’t change but his tail started wagging, happy to be getting attention. A piece laminated paper containing lol the dog’s information was attached to the door of the pen.

Name: Steele
Sex: Male
Age: 4 years old
Breed: Siberian Husky

Shots are up to date.

Loki scanned through the description of the dog looking for anything that caught his attention. It only told him about his temperament and what a good family dog he is. Nothing about being a guard dog. Loki crouched down to the Steele’s level and looked in the eyes.

“Do you see that woman over there?” Loki pointed over to you. “I need someone to look after her when I’m gone.”

After fawning over your fifth dog you turned to look for Loki. You spotted him crouching in front of a Husky just a few pens down on the other side of the walkway. He looked as if he was having a serious conversation with the dog and it was listening intently.

“What are you two talking about?” You asked walking over.

Loki stood and turned to you. “I think we should get him.”

“Oh, I love his face!” You laughed. “He looks like you any time Thor opens his mouth!”

“I think he’d be an excellent addition to our household and he’d make a great guard dog.” Loki smiled and looked back down at Steele who looked up at you curiously.

“Guard dog?” You asked.

“Remember when the house got broken into six months ago?” He replied with a sigh. “I’ve been worrying about leaving you alone ever since then.”

You shuddered as you remembered that horrible night. Unfortunately, you can’t seem to sleep comfortably anytime Loki has to leave for a mission.

“I think he’d be perfect, too!” You smiled and turned to the dog. “Who’s a perfect boy? You are! Yes you are!” Steele wagged his tail excitedly at your baby talk.

Soon, after filling out the necessary paper work and paying a fee, you walked out with your new companion.

“Are we going to change his name?” Loki asked as he let the dog in the back of the car. The Husky excitedly jumped in and started sniffing all over the back seats.

“I like that his name is Steele. It’s the name of a Husky from one of my favorite childhood movies.” You smiled. “But, I was kinda thinking we could name him… Fenrir.” You said with a hint of a blush.

“Fenrir it is, then.” Loki chuckled.
