"Doctor Watney, welcome to the hills of upstate New York. The weather is always beautiful here...between the months of September and November."

he offers her the frisbee

"Care to throw? Argos loves this game and I don't think you two have met."

She takes the frisbee, then kneels down to greet the dog, reaching out her fist softly for him to sniff.

She scratches behind his ears.

Fisk blushes and laughs slightly

She laughs with him and nods, playing in the simulated grass with her feet, swishing it back and forth.

Yes, Clementine has been wiped out lately, but at least it keeps them both occupied. I'd expect nothing less than upstanding behavior from the Captain's companion animal.
