The pirates corner the human space-trucker and grabs the human's pup as a hostage The human's pup doesn't fight back with teeth, but the odor that soon incapacitates the pirates is one all dog owners know all too well. -- Anon Guest

Trucking is a boring job, so it's no shock that truckers in any environment find things to do during their work hours. For life on the road, company is necessary for sanity. For life on the space lanes, that's doubly so.
Chatting on the comms doesn't always work. Some transit lanes are bare of real-time conversation. Podcasts and audio drama can only entertain for so long. The routine of maintenance and meals could only keep a soul from shattering for so long. Thus, it was not surprising that many space truckers had pets. Some were nonstandard, some were stereotypical, and some were as ordinary as milk and cereal.
Trucker Smith had a new puppy, which filled a great many hours with training, play, and cleaning up various puppy-messes. Canid Squiggle was a happy, yappy terrier and already a joyful plague on any and all shipboard pests. He was still teething, too.
