I don't own!
And this story was called something else on LJ, if anyone spots it!

"What…What is this?" General Roy Mustang eyed the moving bundle in Riza's arms. He looked around anxiously, watching the other people at the train station eye them suspiciously.
"It's a dog sir." Major Hawkeye said deadpan, holding the small black and white dog in her hands. She held it firmly, as it tried to squirm out of her hands. "Canis lupus familiaris is their scientific name, used commonly as house-"
"Damnit Liut-Major! Why are you holding that dog?" Mustang snapped.
"It's actually a puppy." She smiled softly, seeing the General flustered. "You see, Black Hayate had puppies."
Her superior officer cocked an eyebrow. "Puppies? Major, that dog was a bo-"
"Please don't make me have to explain everything to you sir. The woman gave me four of the puppies." The puppy in her arms barked playfully, as it doubled its escape efforts to escape. "There were five, and she said she had no use for four more."
The General smirked, "I'm guessing this wasn't planned."
Major Hawkeye rolled her eyes. "I went to see if perhaps the Hughes wanted one, least to say Elicia wouldn't let the poor thing go, Alphonse is taking one out to Havoc which leaves one." She held the small, squirming dog up for emphasis.
"Ah." Mustang eyed his subordinate.
The silence grew awkward as a train whistle blew.
"Here!" she stammered, shoving the dog into the General's hands. "Since you have to go east, and the rest of us have to stay here, I thought you might want a companion…for the time being…"
Roy looked between the wiggling puppy and his red Major, before he smirked. The puppy barked, licking/biting the Roy's chin. "Hm, I save Amestris, and all I get is a dog?"
"It's a puppy, sir."
Mustang looked back down at the puppy in his arms, who looked at him, head cocked to the side, tail hitting his arm. It barked again. The General smiled. "As long as you train him properly when you arrive east Liu-Major Hawkeye." He glared at the puppy, and then smiled, "Come on Frank! We have a train to catch!" he gave his Major a quick salute, before turning on his heel, heading towards the train, dog-puppy in tow.

AN: another name for the Hayate was FRANK! And since my dog is also named Frank, that's what I used!
