Jake lets out a surprised yelp when he is suddenly blinded by a bright white flash of light, the large Malinois Shepherd blinks, ‘what the hell was… wait, wh-why am I suddenly able to think more logical,’ he asks himself, ‘I… I suddenly feel so intelligent! I… I suddenly am able to understand human stuff… did… did that box-thingy do this to me?’
The animal looks down at the device, he notices that there is a big screen which has some words displayed, Jake lowers his head curiously, ‘change successful… wait… did I just READ,’ he asks himself, ‘what is happening to me? Something tells me, if I want answers, I should examine this… thing. I better go somewhere private, I don’t want my master to catch me!’
Jake carefully, not wanting anything else to happen, at least not until he figured out what has happened to him, takes the device into his mouth. The dog is about to leave, when he suddenly notices the mess he had made, as he looks at all the torn letters, now with his new intelligence, he realizes that there had been important documents amongst them, a sudden feeling of guilt and even fear awakes in him, ‘master is going to kill me,’ he thinks to himself. Jake first thinks about hiding the mess he had made, but that wouldn’t be good, sooner or later his master would discover the truth and be even more mad. So, with a sigh, he decides to leave the mess as is, ‘I just hope he’ll go easy on me,’ Jake thinks to himself as he walks away, ‘it’s not like I did it on purpose, I mean… I just wanted to protect my home and master, especially my master, he is everything I have! I… I hope he understands.’
The dog enters his master’s bedroom and walks over to his dog-bed, Jake lies down and lies the device carefully in front of himself, then he starts to examine it. Jake notices that the weird box-thingy has a big green button, which is surrounded by smaller buttons with words written on them, like: “shrink”, “grow”, “age”, “species”, “race”, “reality alteration”, “mind control”, “scan”, “human”, “object”, “animal”, “body swap”, “anthro”, “feral”, and so on. He then notices a button with the word “manual”, which, thanks to his new intelligence, he feels would give him some explanation.
Jake reads through the manual, his eyes widen, widening more and more the more he reads, ‘this device sounds crazy and dangerous,’ he thinks to himself, once he read through the manual, ‘something like this shouldn’t exist, it is not logical, but… it caused my intelligence to increase to the human level. But why would master order this… unless he planned to use it on me… to stop me from destroying stuff and probably stop me from showing how much I like him by humping his leg? Who knows what he had planned.’
The animal lies his head down, thinking of what to do, ‘knowing that my master planned to use this thing on me… to control me… does not sit well with me,’ he thinks to himself, narrowing his eyes, then Jake slowly starts to smile, which turns into a grin, ‘master doesn’t know that it has arrived. I could have some fun with this, I already have a few ideas… hehe.’
