The Man's Best Friend Virus
In what seemed to be a normal small town home a 13 year old boy named Alex played with his friendly german shepherd in the backyard. Little did anyone know the dog was one of the first to be infected with what would be called the Man's Best Friend Virus.
The virus quickly spread to Alex as they wrestled and the dog drooled and nipped at his master. That was all it took, and that’s why the virus can spread so quickly.
Alex left the dog in the backyard as he went upstairs to play some computer games before dinner.
An hour later Alex’s mom called from downstairs announcing it was time for dinner. Alex scratched at his underarms as he walked down the stairs and sat at the table to eat.
“Why don’t you take Rusty to the dog park after dinner Alex?” His dad asked as he took a bite of steak, “He could use some exercise.”
“Sure dad, he always likes playing with the other dogs.”
After dinner Alex opened the door to let the dog in and as he was finding the leash Rusty had found the baby roaming around in his walker and gave him a bath.
“Is the doggy giving you a bath Mark?” Alex asked the 1 year old as he leashed up the dog and proceeded out the front door.
As boy and his dog walked to the park Alex absentmindedly scratched at his front at the slight itchy feeling he got every little bit. He had yet to notice his legs sticking out of his shorts now had an adult’s covering of blond hair, which had been non-existent hours before.
As the pair walked thru the dog park fence Alex unleashed Rusty, who quickly ran off to check out the dozen or so other dogs in the park. Little did anyone know as Rusty came in contact with each of the dogs he passed on the contagiousness of the virus to the other dogs.
As darkness came Alex called Rusty over and attached the leash to head home, where Alex quickly put the dog in the yard for the night.
As Alex entered his room he once again felt the now familiar itching, this time on his leg. Lifting his leg to the bed he scratched at his leg as he turned on the TV with his other hand.
It only took him a few seconds to notice there was hair under his fingers. Looking down he was amazed to see the thick mat of dark blond hair covering his leg. Pulling his short leg up he could see it went up as far as he could pull his shorts. Looking at the other leg he could see it too had hair on it.
As he began to pull off his shorts he thought about where the hair came from. Trying to rationalize it he remembered his older brother had come home from summer camp with hair in lots of places one year, but he didn’t expect it to happen so fast.
Shorts off Alex could see the hair went all the way from his toes into his underwear. Stripping the rest of the way he could see hair around his crotch making a thin line to his belly button as well as a few hairs around his nipples. Looking at his behind he could see a layer of hair on his butt and base of his back. He didn’t remember his brother having hair back there, but come to think of it, it’s not like he intentionally looked there.
Alex quickly snuck into the bathroom to shower before slipping into bed and watching a little TV before falling asleep as his hand moved across his new growth no idea of what the next day was going to bring…
