Dogs V. Men

The first second Black Hayate was under Lt. Riza's control and care, he was attempting to piss on the wall in the office. Riza, not taking kindly to this, shot off her silver pistol six times. She outlined the puppy, who now stood, paws in the air on his hind legs. The dog, from then on, was never disobedient and always listened to Riza's commands.

The first day Riza met Roy Mustang, he was attempting to slack off and read Playboy instead of doing his paperwork. Riza, not appreciative of her commanding officer slacking off, used her silver pistol and shot twelve times. Outlining the Lieutenant Colonel who was standing with his back to the wall, hands in the air. He never once crossed her again and did his paperwork without a second thought.

Five years later, that same Riza smiled and chuckled as she watched her husband run around the back yard playing with her dog. She turned her head to the wall where a shadow box hung with a single silver pistol encased inside. Beneath the pistol was a gold plaque. On this plaque were simple words straight from Riza's mouth...

"Men are like dogs... Dumb but trainable."
