Jack stood barefoot by the stove, starting breakfast while Benton slept. He’d slipped his trousers on, but the braces were hanging loose.  Reaching down to scratch Diefenbaker behind the ear, he turned to make sure the wolf could read his lips.

“You’re looking good, Dief.” 

Diefenbaker leaned into the scratch, wagging his tail.

“Benton seems to be doing well in Chicago.  He’s certainly happier than I’d expected him to be.  Although, I imagine he’s still getting into trouble now and again.”

The wolf huffed in response.

“But you’re looking out for him, right?”  Jack smiled.  “Course you are.  Good boy.”

Figures Jack & Dief would be ganging up on Benton behind his back--entirely for his own good, of course.

And I'm sure he really appreciates it too...
