10D CLOSEUP - BOOMER
rolls over on back, eyes closed, and tongue hanging out.
ROBBIE (laughing) Alright. I'm thirsty, too.
Boomer jumps up on Robbie's lap. There's a moment of surprise on Robbie's part, but then he gives Boomer a big hug and we get the feeling that this is the first time in a long while that Robbie's laughed or had fun. He wheels them over to a hose.

10E BOOMER
turns on the tap water.
Robbie drinks from the hose, then cups his hand and pours in some water for Boomer to lap up. Robbie looks at Boomer's name tag.
ROBBIE So you're Boomer?

10G CLOSEUP - BOOMER
lifts a paw to shake. Robbie reacts joyously at his new found buddy. They shake. Robbie's mother comes out the back door and into the yard. Robbie and Boomer don't see her as she stands and watches the duo. MRS. JOHNSON is obviously deeply hurt by Robbie's situation. She looks at her wheelchair bound son for a beat. Tears well up in her eyes, but she wipes her eyes and regains composure.
MRS. JOHNSON Robbie, Billy is on the phone... He wants you to... Who's this?
ROBBIE He says his name's Boomer.
