"Well, I guess he can hunt with you," Jake allows, frowning slightly. It would be kind of pointless to have a dog in a place like this and not teach him how to hunt.

He's still a little wary, though, because Cougar has a habit of swooping in and charming the pants off anyone Jake has ever talked to, and he wouldn't put it past him to somehow charm his dog so that it likes Cougar better than him. He wouldn't really blame it, but it's kind of tiresome, to always play second fiddle to man.
