Trooper meets a Dog Fish!

Soon after Trooper joined us at the back of the boat, I caught a dogfish. Trooper was so excited. Dogfish are sort of like a small shark. When I brought the dogfish on board I placed him on the deck and let Trooper and Briaky talk with him, but they couldn't understand each other! DogFish talk a totally different language than regular dogs and bears, I suppose. It was a bit awkward as they tried to communicate through sign language. It looked very funny because the dogfish only has flippers and fins which makes it very hard to do sign language. After a while I told them it was time for the dogfish to go back into the ocean, so they hugged each other (that's the best form of sign language that everyone understands) and the dogfish swam away. Trooper said it was very strange to hug the dogfish. He said he wasn't soft and furry like Brisky or most of the other animals that Trooper knows. He said the dogfish was very rough and felt more like sandpaper.
