“Are you sure you want her, sir?” asked the young woman at the Rescue Shelter.  

Harry nodded vigorously and smiled.  “How could I not take her home?  Look at those eyes.  She wants me.”

“The dog's missing a leg and has so many scars.”

“Take me, too?”  The woman's eyes had the same look of love.
