Kirk, as it turns out, is one of those poor souls who is tested against the strength of Jayne's sad, puppy eyes. Truly, he makes a valiant effort of not giving in to those big, sad eyes, he does. One could see the struggle, but in the end he was not a monster nor was his heart made of stone, and he forked over half his sandwich to the dog.

He keeps an eye on the animal when it seems to decide he has nothing more of interest to give, noting whom it goes to and thinks from the reaction that might be the owner. He follows in the dog's wake and ends up beside Malcolm.

"That dog does not play fair" he declared, pointing at Jayne.
