After Cole died, Sumo is all that Hank has left. Sumo is a good boy. Intelligent. So when Hank lays down at night, Sumo comes and lays on him (crushing him tbh) and he just stays there. That's because he tries to comfort Hank with his own tiny heartbeat so he can finally find some sleep.
Oh my god. This was so pure I had to shut my laptop for a moment and then reopen it and come back.
It works tbh, most of the time. Sumo is big and fluffy and warm. He has a lot to hold on to. And a steady heartbeat will put Hank out in a few minutes or less.
What a good dog. The best dog.
This is why Hank will literally shoot the hand off of anyone that looks even slightly like they might mistouch Sumo in any way.
