"You want to through the ball for Scruffy?" Seth asked Nia. "He'd love to chase it and bring it back to you."
Nia nodded enthusiastically and Seth sat her back on the ground where she picked up the ball and threw it. Scruffy bounded the short distance after it and scooped it up, bringing it back with a wagging tail.
"Spit it out, Charlie, what have you done!" Seth said, bouncing a bit.
