I loved the drift and flow of your story; poetic and seamless sentences that tell a wonderful first time fic. Toby was a great addition - there are not enough Pros fics out there with mutts! I, too loved the 'stray dog/stray Bodie' line, and I especially liked the way you described that moment of vulnerability when Doyle realises exactly how he wants to comfort Bodie.
Ray had turned back from his conversation with the doctor just in time, and that brief glimpse of Bodie in pain had been enough to inspire the sudden need for him to tug the solid body to his own, to have the dark head rest against his shoulder—to offer the kind of comfort that didn't exist in their world.
