The commercial blasted through the television, and Elias instantly recognized the opening melody. *His* song, used to sell dog food. He was sitting on his couch with a half-eaten sandwich and quickly sat up straighter, surprised. The images flashed across the screen, a montage of happy dogs frolicking in a park.
