But the circling ceased when one of the students, a boy, got down on his level and reached a hand out? Bess, as her tag read, was not immediately trusting but… petting did feel good. She took a few steps forward, sniffing out the outstretched hand. Before another step closer, another sniff. Another, and another sniff.
He certainly smelled harmless. So with that decision, Bess nudged her head under the boys hand so he could properly pet her. The girl then offered a hand as well, and Bess repeated the process, forcing the outstretched hand to pet her once which was invitation that she could now proceed to do so.
Say, did either of them have treats? She sniffed for it. Quote:

He really didn’t think of a reason for it to not like him: Jude happened to have pure intentions every single moment of his life. The tactic worked! He was being sniffed at and the doggo came closer for him to pet and to read the tag. “Bess. Hi, Bess! It’s so nice to meet you!” The older Hufflepuff patted her cute little head. “You’re a pretty girl, did you know?”
Desiree was certainly right about those pointy ears! But they were all part of Bess’ beauty. “Oops. With all the doggie excitement, I forgot to grab some treats. Hang on. I’ll be right back!” Jude hastily got to his feet, grabbed the treats and was back in about a minute. “Here, Desiree. You can feed her too.” Jude shared some with his partner then held two of the treats out for Bess. Quote:

But nearly as soon as she’d settled that, the human had LEFT and she gave a small whine, before trotting closer to the girl. Would she stay with her? Would she pet her!?
Her dramatics were unneeded though, as the boy soon returned and she gave a wag in hello. DID HE HAVE TREATS!? She barked excitedly, making a couple of jumps up before happily gobbling down the offered food.
DELICIOUS. MORE!?
Desiree watched the doggy intently, curious to see what he - she? - was going to do. Not that she expected the dog to bite or anything like that, but animals were weird sometimes! She felt a slight pang of jealousy when the cute doggy went to Jude first, but she couldn’t blame him/her. Jude was friendly like that!
Anyway, it wasn’t long before the doggy - Bess, apparently - came to her too. Desiree giggled. Bess sounded like a grandma name, but this little doggy didn’t act much like a grandma! She wondered where that name came from. Maybe this Bess was named after someone’s grandma? More giggles followed as Bess sniffed and nudged her hand. She didn’t need to be forced; she was all too willing to give Bess all the pets she wanted. “Hi, Bess! I’m Desiree, and he’s Jude. Let’s be friends!” she said as if she were a Disney princess talking to her animal sidekick, petting Bess all the while. “Aww, you’re such a cutie patootie!”
Desiree blinked as Jude spoke. What? Oh, right, treats. She gave her partner a vague nod. Aww! Bess's whine sounded so sad! Desiree wasted no time in giving her alllll the pets. "It's okay. He'll be back soon."
And she was right!
Desiree giggled at Bess's barking and jumping. “Are you still hungry, girl?” she said, taking a couple of treats and offering them to Bess when she'd finished the ones Jude gave her.. It was only then that she remembered the professor’s instructions, and her blue eyes darted from the doggy to Jude. “When she’s done eating, shall we try giving her some commands?”
