[The video turns on and it shows a whole lotta nothing. Just an empty rec room. And then:]

DD!

[When Ocelot’s voice shouts the name, a large dog that appears to be a wolf-mix with thick grey fur and an eyepatch over one eye comes into view of the camera and stands there wagging its tail eagerly.

Ocelot’s gloved red hand comes into view of the camera and points to the room.]

Search!

[The dog barks twice and turns around to quickly move about the room. It sticks its head behind a couch and pulls out a red ball, then drops it and follows its nose to another spot, inside a potted plant, where another red ball is retrieved. The dog moves expertly around obstacles, retrieving red balls that were hidden all over the room. When the last one is found, DD walks back to Ocelot and stares up at the camera with the final red ball in its mouth.]

Good boy, DD.

[DD barks again, dropping the ball and turning happily in a circle with his tail wagging. The camera then turns to show Ocelot’s face.]

You see that? Expertly trained. I’m willing to bet DD here is worth more in the field than half of you, so maybe you should get some lessons from our defense personnel.

[That’ll give Miller and Snake something to do.]

If you think you might need DD for some field work, you can ask his handler, ‘Venom’ Snake.

Is he also half pirate?

[ Because Bucky is a little confused. It has an eye patch. Why in the hell does a dog have an eye patch? God, you old people are so weird. ]

Oh my god.

[DD, also once known to Liquid as "the only good thing about Mother Base", at least until Mantis started hanging around, was here. Holy crap. Liquid's eyes are wide.]

I'm going to pet him, Ocelot. I hope you know that. I'm going to pet him.

You guys weren't the only ones to end up with a little companionship.

[View is in the cargo bay. Miller turns the cargo bay camera to face a very confused looking female husky, and she's not leaving staying right by Miller's legs. She has no idea where she is.]

She's pretty nervous.

[cardboard_boss]

I won't ask how but I'm sure as hell going to pet him anyway.

[Venom's heart lifted when he clapped eyes on DD. The Diamond Dog that followed him around in the hot Afghan desert.]

Ocelot training hounds.

[A PUPPY]

[Lara's had some bad experiences recently with wolves, but still she's a little charmed. ]

The cats in the garden won't be pleased. Is he from where you're from?

Ever need anyone to take him for a run, just give me a call.

Nice trick. Except your demonstration didn't include the part where you hid the balls, or where DD was then.

[Hey, he called everyone else out first. She's allowed to point out the loophole here.]

But the puppy's adorable, so points for that.
