i would have been annoyed if the author would have made him handsome too, no offense to even the 'retro' one but they are not really beautyful (at least to me)
but now i would love to see a k-9 unit type retired or active, preferably a retired .... preferably female too... i mean, it's not like i want to see a fine older lady ... definitively not, it's not like i imagine a base Malinois, bomb/drug sniffing/ combat trained but retired, becoming an older lady, toned/trained body, short/shoulder length brown styled hair, act with purpose and discipline but still with a sense of warm and playfulness
....
definitively not imagining that, nuhuh, nope
