if he'd gotten glass in his paws?

Dad. I know.

- Do you know how that would

have affected everything?

- Dad...

My safety, my life depends on him being

in perfect shape during a track down.

- Dad, I feel terrible.

- He is not a house pet.

- I know, Dad.

- He is my partner, my shield.

- Do you understand that?

- I know. I'm sorry.

Please, do you forgive me?

Do you? I said I'm sorry, Dad.

- Do you forgive me?

- Julia, you and your friends

need to go outside right now.

- [Sobs]

- Julia!

Hey, honey.

You didn't come down,

so I brought dinner to you.

- Dad.

- Mm-hmm?

Could you, like,

not be in here right now?

Sure.

[Door Opens]

Does this thing have to be here,

right in the hallway?

Sorry, honey.

I'll move it first thing tomorrow.

Okay? How was your day?

It was all right.

- I made pasta. It's in the fridge.

- Thank you.

We have to talk.

- About?

- You know about what.

Did she tell you how it happened,

what she was trying to do with Ace?

- Dan, she's hurting.

- She was showing off in front of her friends.

They knocked over the cabinet.

There was glass all over the floor.

- It could have gotten in Ace's paws.

- She made a mistake.

She apologized,

but you didn't forgive her.

That's not how we do things

in this family.

Okay, but she needs to understand

that that dog is not just her house pet.

- He's my partner, my shield...

- "He's my shield."

Yes, we all know

that speech by heart.

What does that make Julia?

She needs your trust and your time.

You don't spend

enough time with her.

So you're talking now

as my wife or as my therapist?

As Julia's mom.

Do you know what she asked me this morning

while I was braiding her hair?

"Why can't he just love me

Hey.! Hey.!

Hey.! What are you doing?

There, huh?

[Barking]

Whoa. Whoa. Come here.
