That's right, Lucy thought to herself as she fell all too comfortably onto all fours. Laura and Sophie, her owners, must have decided to stop by this strange shop while they were taking her for her afternoon walk. It was Laura's kind of thing after all. She hoped they wouldn't be long though, she was looking forward to going home, eating out of her dog bowl and chasing the cat around for a bit.
"Erm, Lucy what are you doing? Why are you on all fours on the dirty floor?" Sophie asked in confusion.
"Um, because I"m a dog?" Lucy replied to this strange enquiry.
"Ok. Why are you pretending to be a dog?"
"I'm not pretending, I'm a dog and you're my owner. Why are you being weird about it all of a sudden?"
"Fine, great joke, well done!" Sophie raised her voice a little in frustration.
"Hey, what's up" Laura asked as she wandered over "What are you two doing?"
"This whole crystal thing was a big joke" Sophie huffed, folding her arms "Lucy touched the crystal and is now pretending to be a dog"
"What are you talking about?" Lucy responded with genuine confusion. Humans could be so strange sometimes.
"Yeah, I knew all along" Laura grinned with a hint of smugness "It was pretty funny but you should probably get up now Lucy"
"I can't get up" Lucy reiterated as patiently as she could "I'm a dog"
Laura and Sophie shared a look. This joke was starting to get old now.
