At least. Bucky held the menu up I can still read. In fact he could read English, french, German, Spanish and greek - and languages came considerably easier then they ever had before.
"Steve says something big is the best idea because he wants something that I can't..."
He lets Bucky choose what he wants, skimming over the choices before deciding on a burger and fries with a sundae for dessert.
"Maybe a Labrador Retriever then." Those were good dogs, intelligent and friendly - there was a reason why they were usually picked and trained as therapy dogs. "We'll see what other options they have at the shop."
"Something that can take the kind of hugs that I can give."
Bucky stares at something in the distance before examining the menu, "...I want a hamburger, curly fries, bacon on the hamburger, blu cheese two, and a sundae with waffles."
He imagines Bucky with a squirming armful of puppy, one that would place loving, slobbery dog kisses all over his face, and his smile is rather wide when he places their orders with the waitress he'd flagged down.
"There's lots to choose from, then. Plenty of sturdy breeds out there."
That sobers Sam's expression, and he reaches across the table to rest his hand on top of Bucky's.
"This is totally your decision to make, so don't feel like you have to do it all at once. We could just go and look at the pets, then come back to buy one another day." He gave his hand a light squeeze. "That said, you don't have to be scared of trying. I wouldn't even suggest getting you a dog if I didn't think you were at a stage where you could handle the responsibility."
