_ gave me the big puppy eyes. "Please Luddy!"

"NIEN!" I shouted. "The last thing we need is a dog!"

"It'll be fun~!" she tempted. "I'll take full responcabillity for him, and everything!"

She knew I don't want another dog...it would be too painful after my dogs, Aster, Blackie, and Berlitz, ran away and never came back about two years ago. I couldn't handle another dog, and here she was with the stray Sheperd she found in the front yard again. I looked down at the dog, and glared at it before looking up at my girlfriend. "...He stays outside, and we only keep him until we find his owner, then he's gone."

"Understood." she stated before knealing down at the sheperd's level. "Until then, I'll call you...Gil!"

I stared at her. "...Gil?" She nodded. "...You're naming a dog after my ego maniac bruder?" As if he knew what I just said, 'Gil' bit my hand, drawing blood. I whaled in pain at the jaw pressure as _ tried to pull the dog away, and I pried my hand from his jaws. "That's it!" I yelled as I took the dog by the skin on the back of his neck and yanked him out to the back yard, all the while cradling my injured hand. "Out!"

_ sighed as I slamed the door on the dog, locking the dead bolt before rumiging through the medicine cabinate. "Why'd you have to do that?" she asked me. "Now, he might run away!"

I just looked at her. "That dog nearly broke my hand, and might have given me rabies! He runs away, good ridence!" That was appearantly the wrong thing to say, because as I wrapped my hand, _ stormed up to the room we shared and came back down with a pillow and blanket, ploping them on the couch. When I tried to go up to the bed, she grabbed me by the back of my neck with a surprisingly firm grip, and threw me in the living room.

After I accepted that she was angry with me again and just got as comferntable as I could on the couch, she opened the back door, and led Gil up the stairs to our room. I could hear her patting on the bed, encouriging Gil to jump up and sleep there. I simply pouted my face before sleep took me from the world of the living.

Through out the night, I felt odd, getting urges to do odd things, like lick my feet, or let my tounge hang out. When I opened my eyes, everything was in black and white. I tried to sit up, but I noticed...changes. I didn't have a bandage on my hand anymore, in fact, I didn't even have hands. I heard my deep voice whimper and whine as I got up on the couch...on all fours...and examined myself. All in all, I was a German Sheperd, identical to the one _ got from the front yard.

"Gil!" I heard _ call. "Where are you boy?"

"You lost the dog?!" I wanted to yell, but it came out as a loud bark.

She came down stairs and smiled. "Hey Gil." she cooed as she sat beside me on the couch. "Did you come down here to get that apology from that mean old Ludwig?"

"What?" I thought as I barked. "Me? Apologize to that dog? When HE bit ME? Not a chance!"

"Well, I'm sure he didn't mean to be so rude to you." she stated in a baby voice as she hugged my neck and rubbed circles on my chest.

"This is humilliating." I thought as she talked baby to me.

"I wonder if he left for work already." she pondered.

I perked up at the mention of work. "Verdamnit! I'm late!" With that, I jumped off the couch and quickly sprinted up the steps, pushing the door to close as I turned to my closet. "...How to do this..."

I jumped up on two legs, leaning on the door, then used my front paws to push the handle down, causing the door to open as I stepped back. Seeing my uniform, I took the shirt and jacket in my teeth, pulling them off the hanger before placing them on the bed. I then opened the drawer with my jaws and pulled out my pants before placing them on the bed aswell. With my uniform in place, I hopped on the bed and started to get dressed, nuzzling through my shirt and tossing the jacket over my back, forgetting about the pants after trying several times to put them on.

I tried to open the bedroom door the same way I did when I opened the closet, but the handle is more round. I ended up scratching on the door. Eventually, _ opened the door, and looked down at me. "Almost forgot!" I exclaimed in my head as I jumped on the bed and nuzzled the hat from the nightstand on my head.

_ knelt down to me and cooed. "AW~! You look so adorable in Luddy's uniform~! There's just one thing missing~!" She reached over to my military dog tags and clipped them around my neck. "There you go Gilly Willy~! Now you look just like Luddy Dovy~!"

"You've got to be kidding. Is this how you talk about me when I'm not home?" I growled as I strutted past her. "I'm off to work!" I barked, even though I was sure she couldn't understand me as I opened the front door the same way as the closet, and sprinted down the street to the training field.
