You think so that is to coincidental to me
Yeah, what is that term.... a red herring? haha I think it's possible the author wants us to think the doggy is up to no good, but it's really going to end up being something stupid like his birthday or something xD maybe not exactly that obviously, but something along those lines
But that was definitely a smirk...
I think it was a smirk like, oh he remembers me and thinks of me all the time! And not an evil one.
I think the pin is the day he found him as a puppy and that's why he grinned. I don't think he's actually a bad guy.
