In the scene from "The Calling" by Kelley Armstrong, a character experiences a playful encounter with a dog that shows its affection by licking one of them before jumping onto another person named Rafe. This interaction is lighthearted, with Rafe responding with laughter while playfully pushing the dog down, suggesting a bond between them.

The protagonist, however, humorously questions the reality of the moment, referencing the belief that dogs can see ghosts. This adds an intriguing layer to the scene, hinting at underlying themes of skepticism and the possibility of the supernatural, while also maintaining a playful tone in their conversation.
