I look down to find Gunnar spitting a leaf out of his mouth, along with a baby mouse, whose heart is beating so fast I can see it through his chest. Flipping himself over trying to run away, the white Husky looks back and realizes he did indeed catch a snack.
Scooping the baby mouse back into his mouth, we continue our walk...
"Well, G, mice are on the "approved" list, so I can't (even if I could) take it away from you."
Further down the road (quite a ways)...
"Gunnar, that is not a throat lozenge: it's not just going to dissolve and leave a mouse-honey coating inside your mouth, so just swallow it so we can get on with our day!"
