"The dog was not a robot, sadly," Coop told him with a shake of his head. Poe's dog had been pretty damn cute but he'd been flesh and blood, completely devoid of any circuits or wires or whatever else made Poe's robot work. "I bet Poe could probably get a robot dog if he wanted to but this one was named K-9 and he was pretty damn cute."

Coop found himself momentarily wondering how Poe's dog and robot were getting along after the initial friction. He made a mental note to himself to check in on that a little later.

"I almost want to dare you to knit me a shawl right now," Coop said though he didn't outright issue the dare. Newt sounded pretty confident about his knitting abilities and Coop was never one to turn down someone trying something they didn't know how to do just because they thought they could. "Winter's probably not long off and I could use a shawl, you know. It'd give you plenty of time to knit my shawl and sweaters for all the dogs that I could have by then."
