Snap leapt to his feet when the bannock was held out to him -- then dropped back into the down when it was taken away. He stared in incredulous exasperation at the human who was refusing him the treat he demanded -- and decided to do something about it.
He coughed out a soft bark, once, and then his head tipped, his toes dug into the floor as he braced -- and DP coughed, glared and muttered a sharp "ah ah!".
Instantly, Snap's ears pinned themselves to his broad skull and he flattened himself to the floor. He glanced over his shoulder at his master (DP shook his head, glaring) and heaved out a great sigh. Then he looked at Alex again, still hopeful, tail wagging cheerfully, jaws gaping in a happy smile. Bouncing to his feet again, he dropped a shoulder and all but dove into the roll, exposing his belly, then rolling all the way over, his barrel-round ribs making it an easy and flowing motion before he bounced to his feet again. Plunking his rear onto the floor he reached up with one paw and slapped, hard, at Alex's knee, barking again, a high, excited squeak of sound, before sneezing once more, paw resting roughly on Alex's knee as he waited.
DP grinned, shook his head, and went back to his own meal, quickly clearing the few bits left on his own plate.
