Nickolas has been a trustworthy dog-sitter and dog-trainer for you for a few months now, you saw nothing wrong with him

That was until you came home early to find Nick staring down your dog down with the most serious look on his face before he saw you, instantly his demeanour became sheepish

After a minute or so he looked like a scolded puppy with his head held low, embarrassed at having been caught feeling jealous at how much attention you give your dog. He was like a dog himself.
