Brought Me

Dog left briefly in car
stares at shop door 
door his master disappeared through
staring
constantly
head unflinchingly steady
eyes fixed
until...
until dog spots master again
at said door
"He has returned!"
bursting with excitement 
and
as master walks across carpark 
returns to said car
opens car door
dog leaps...

out of faithfulness?
or is it
"I wonder what he's brought me?"
