Ben decides to save his current form and look at what else he can do.
He goes back to the main menu, scolling throught the different options.
What finally catches his eye is an option labled 'Perception'. He decides to skip the 'Self' section for now and takes a look at 'Others'.
The number of options surprises him, but also makes him unsure of what he wants, until he finds a certain sub-section.
The options in this section would allow him to set conditions for the perception of himself towards others.
Ben immediately gets to work, setting it up so that he is perceived as a normal dog, whenever he gets on all fours.
He decides to stop and think for a moment, before also setting it up so that he normally also gets somewhat dog-like treatment,
but limits it, so that he will still mostly be treated like a human, except for occasional petting, or being told he's a good boy during a conversation. He hits enter and waits until the program hits 100%, but still feels no changes.
Ben decides to take a risk and walks to his front door, takes a deep breath, walks out, closes the door behind him and gets on all fours.
He still notices no changes, until a little girl suddenly runs up to him. Ben thinks she'll be scared by the massive dog-man squatting on the sidewalk, but is surprised when she starts petting him. "Wow, you're so big and fluffy!" Ben starts panting, enjoying the treatment.
"Who's a good girl? You are! You're a good girl!" For some reason, even being mistaken as a girl doesn't bother Ben.
The girl pulls a baby pink ribbon out of her pocket, tying it around Ben's neck with a big bow. She keeps petting Ben, until her mother calls her, causing her to run off, while waving goodbye at him. Ben looks as she runs off. 'I guess i also act more like a dog when i'm on all fours.'
He decides that this is enough for now and, after making sure that no one is looking, sneaks back into his home.
'Well, this confirms it... and i think i'll keep things like this for now.' As he walks through a hallway, Ben sees himself in a mirror.
He's a massive, naked, black dog-man, with big muscles and equally as large balls, hanging under his thick sheath.
The girly pink ribbon tied around his neck looks completely out of place. 'Then why do i like it so much?'
Ben runs his thick fingers over it. 'It definitely makes me look friendlier.' He decides against removing it.
'At least no one will think i'm a stray when i'm on all fours while i wear this.' Ben sits back down in front of his laptop.
"So, what should i do next?" Ben says to himself with a smile on his face.
