EM: Hey, everybody! I'm here this week at The Cobblestone Cafe with security dog, Jake Sky. Say "hi" to the audience, Jake!
Jake: Hi.
EM: So, Jake, tell us. What's it like being a security dog?
Jake: I'm hungry.
EM: Ha ha ha. Okay, seriously though. Being a security dog must have its dangerous moments. What the greatest danger you've ever faced?
Jake: Starving to death.
EM: Come on now, Jake. You've lived with me for over fourteen years. You're hardly starving to death.
Jake: Feels like it.
EM: Jake...
Jake: No, really. You want to know what I feel like? I'm hungry all the time. Every minute, every day. Hungry. That's it. My entire existence summed up in a single word.
EM: I fed you twice today.
Jake: Hungry.
EM: Maybe even three times. I think I gave you two dinners by mistake.
Jake: Still hungry.
EM: But the vet says you're in perfect condition!
Jake: What does she know? Is she a dog? Does she know what it feels like to be ravenously hungry all day long? I don't think so.
EM: But surely you haven't been hungry every minute of your life?
Jake: Well, okay. There was that one time. You remember. When I got into the garbage while you were out? Oh man that was a good day. Old Chinese food, half a loaf of stale bread, chicken scraps... Heck, I was full!
EM: Well, there you go.
Jake: Humph. One day in my whole life, and you think that's a good thing?
EM: Oh please. You're fine.
Jake: No way. I'm telling you. Starving.
EM: Hmm... I'm afraid I'm going to have to prove you wrong there, Jake. Hey, Larry, can we roll that clip now?
Larry: Sure thing, EM.
EM: There. You're obviously not starving.
Jake: I want my lawyer.
And... three, two, one... we're clear. That's a wrap.
EM: Jake, seriously. What's with all the talk like you're starving? You're making me look bad.
Jake: Hey, it's nothing personal. I'm just playing to the sympathy crowd. Looking for a care package or two, you know?
EM: Nobody's going to send you anything to eat.
Jake: Yeah, well, we'll see. So listen, is that hospitality tray for me? Because I heard Tym got to take his home...

Where can I find the Security Dog Jake book, what a funny character? Is this another one of those Jim C. Hines characters? Thank Jake for such an entertaining interview, and a great morning laugh.

LOL. If Jig and Jake were to meet in real life, which one do you think would eat the other one first? My vote's on Jake, but then, he is my dog. I couldn't stand by and let a goblin get him. Not even my favorite goblin!
