So, a little black humor in describing the catalog is that it's a homage to the Littlest Pet Shop Ultimate Handbooks where they list all the current toys and give them little bios as if they were actual characters including every pet's favorite food in the first three handbooks, charming but I find myself missing the simplicity of the Littlest Pet Shop of my youth in the 90s where they were simply cute cartoon animals instead of the giant Anime-eyed monstrosities of today.

Dana quietly observed Joe looking at the catalog looking like he was getting more and more angry the more he saw, practically frothing at the mouth! Seeing the fire in his eyes Dana thought that deep inside the Frenchman was like the Gauls in the Asterix comic books her Red Fox Sister Vivian liked to read.

As Joe read through the catalog each Mutant Girl had her own bio giving her name and species and/or breed and also gave some facts about what kinds of things she was good at, her hobbies and interests even their favorite foods! For example Dana's interests and hobbies were listed as 'Classic Rock, Action Movies and Track and Field (Hurdling) and her favorite food was listed as 'Cheeseburgers' seems that growing up the Scientists did let the Mutant Girls explore with different kinds of human activities and interests to see what they were naturally good at, rather than try to force them to do something they weren't good at, instead simply see how they develop and let the potential customer choose based not only which Animal Girl he found most sexy but which one's charateristics appealed to his personality. Even listing what the girl's favorite food was suggested that these were to be substitute wives not mere se slaves and that the customers were given information on how to best please their Pet-Wife, in the end it did kind of make sense as these Mutant Girls were presumably took a lot of time and resources to create then raise to maturity...If a man who bought one of these creatures not only just for se but to go full Marquis De Sade on them and beat them to death...That was essentually breaking a very expensive 'toy' and the company would very likely not give that person another Mutant after that nor very likely refund his money...

But still the whole idea of creating slaves out of animals...No matter how well they were treated...The fact remained they had no say in the matter!

"Dégoûtant..." Joe muttered under his breath as he finally put the catalog down.

Slightly calmer now, but now by much...Joe looked at the Mutant Doberman sitting before him and asked "Why only you? Why were you the only one who was able to resist even a little? Why were you the only one to escape? Why didn't you take any of your sisters with you?"

"I think..." Dana said quietly "...It was the brain improving medicine they gave me while I was still developing in the tank...It made me too smart for their liking, it made me smart enough to realize the kind of man who deserved us was the kind of man who would never buy a sex slave not even if he was desperatly lonely! So the reason I escaped was because I knew if I had to do this...To mate with a human man...I just wanted to...Pick my poison."

Joe was seeing a bit of that firey sparkle return to her eyes and her voice seemed to be more of that deep contralto that he remembered.

"That's all you wanted?" Joe asked "Why didn't you try to resist further? Why mate with a human man why not a male of your own species?"

"Because I'm not attracted to male dogs!" Dana barked now sounding angry "I'm only attracted to male humans! It was drilled into all of us so deep by hypnotic commmand...Besides..." She said her voice getting more high pitched again "I agreed with them in that we should do our part to avert to coming crisis...I knew there were men like you who deserve to be loved I just wanted to choose who I would serve...That's all."

So much to unpack there but Joe started with the most obvious lead "Hypnotic command?" He said

"Yes..." Dana sighed "...I remember when I was being 'difficult' growing up they would tie me up, put a ball gag in my mouth and give me extra time in the training room, where I would receive the comands from like...A screen, I think...And a green light, would go round and round the room..." She began massaging her temples and looked like she was getting dizzy as if her memory was getting fuzzy trying to remember the specifics of the hypnotism...

Fearing she might start getting ill, Joe got up and quickly got her a glass of water, which she took and began lapping at like a dog...

With the revelation of the hypnotism, suddenly the strange personality change was beginning to make sense now...This was like another personality had been programmed into her...To be released after having se with a human man, but now Joe could see Dana's old personality was fighting back and refusing to be subsumed into the new personality, he could see the sparkle in her eyes kept coming up into the deep brown pools of her eyes, like a luminous fish that keeps rising to the surface of the water...

"I still don't understand..." Joe said "...If you knew that having sex would do this to you...Why would you do it?"

"You just can't understand..." Dana said as tears streamed down her cheeks matting her fur "...That the yearning I felt to fullfill my purpose, was like burning pain! I knew I had to do what I was born to do but I had to wait until I found the right man...A man I knew had a kind heart, who would..." She was about to say 'Take care of me' but now she saw that was no longer a given seeing how disgusted Joe was with the revelaition, she had found a good man, so good that he was furious with her dishonesty.

"Dana..." Joe sighed "...You saw what happened between us an Leonardo...Did you even think for one minute, the trouble we'd get into if he learned that one of us had sex with a Mutant created to be a sex slave? Did you even consider the danger this kind of scandel might cause between the humans and mutants?!"

Dana hiccuped as her sheepish reply that no she hadn't thought of the danger.

Joe sighed "There is nothing we can do about it now...We'll...We'll think of something in the morning...I can't let you leave now like this...But I can't sleep with you after this! You must sleep on the sofa!"

Dana quietly cried as she headed off to the sofa...

Joe went to the bedroom, and began to try to clean his bed, brush away the dog fur, but still the bed reeked of the odors of sex and canine smells, he would not be able to sleep in his bed like this fortunatly the night was still young, he could go down to the laundry room and was his sheets and blankets...

But as he began pulling off his sheets thoughts came to him with new clarity...She really did mean it that her yearning was like burning pain, and yet to do the thing she was created to do would be like a kind of death! Her old personality was supposed to be replaced by the meek little sex slave personality...She wanted a man who she could trust to treat her kindly after she became meek, submissive and bound to obey the man who took her virginity...Joe felt an icy chill go down his spine as he realized she had chosen him to essentually kill her old self! He imagined his phallus as the lance that was slaying her...

He felt his eyes welling up with tears as he realized what he had done to her "Pauvre créature..." He said quietly as he bundled up his bedclothes "...Pauvre petite créature..."

So setting up Joe no longer wants to cure her just to prevent a scandel but because he geuinly wants to save her old self and return her to the girl he first met.
