Squiggles looks up at Azula with the dopiest look on his puppy face. His tongue lolls out and he continues to pant. He's quite a few feet away from her and shows no intention of answering her call. She wouldn't answer either if her name was Squiggles. Kiyi was the one who had gotten to pick his name.

"Zu-Zu you call him! He won't answer me!" Azula hollaes.

Zuko looks up from his desk work, "It's your turn to train him."

Azula scoffs, "you left me with the hard work." She turns her attention back to Squiggles. "Squiggles get over here, now!" She is pointing in his direction and wears an angry pout. She knows that if she approaches the beagle, he's going to dash off. "Squiggles, come!" She demands firmly. She tries waving a treat in his face. But he flips over on his back practically begging for some belly rubs.

Azula slaps her palm against her head and sighs. "Fine." She accepts defeat and goes to him. She gives his belly some scratches. He yaps happily.

"Alright Squiggles," she mutters, "you got your belly rubs, now be a good boy and listen to me."

Squiggles looks at her as if she just said the stupidest thing he'd ever heard and sat back down. "Well at least you've mastered, 'sit'" She mutters.

Azula tosses Squiggles a treat. He gobbles it up, barks once, and looks at her expectantly.

"Squiggles come."

He lifts his right paw up. Azula kneels in font of him and takes his paw. He puts it down again. She shows him another treat, "shake."
Squiggles lifts his paw again and she shakes his hand. She gives him another treat. Smiling smugly to herself, she deduces that she can train him to shake and play dead, and Zuko can train him come on command.

Azula tosses the last treat she has up into the air. "Alright, Squiggles, go up to Zuko and play dead."

Squiggles cocks his head and trots up to Zuko. "Hey buddy!" He reaches his hand out. Immediately Squiggles flops to the side, laying absolutely still. "Squiggles? You okay buddy?" Still the dog does not move, not even a twitch.

Azula snickers in the distance.

"Squiggles what's wrong?" Zuko asked the pup. He kneels down to pet Squiggles who still doesn't budge. "Azula I think something's wrong with him, we need to take him to the vet."

Azula snickers louder. "Okay, Squiggles come over here before we give Zuko heart attack."
