Mark stopped himself all of a sudden. No! He could not act like this! He had to resist his sudden new urges. Canine impulses were unfortunately present in his head and he might have to fight them very hard. Chasing his tail?... What was he? A dumb animal for real? No, he had to find a way to escape and retrieve his normal appearance. Except finding an escape was very hard, what with this new body. He had no opposable thumbs anymore and his body was in itself rather ridiculous. He was a sausage dog, for crying out loud! A long tubby body, so long it looked comical, and tiny stubs of legs. His ears dragged almost to the ground as well. He was black and brown as well. Mark was also assaulted with tons of different smells, all rather interesting. In fact, they were more than interesting, they were enthralling. Mark could smell incredibly attractive scents that he would not have cared for before: food pellets, other animals, human smells, cleaning products, hay, sawdust, plastic,... One smell he found unbelievably intriguing. But he realised with horror that it was sweat. Human sweat. Yuck! How could he found it so sweet to sniff further? Mark thought he would have to watch himself carefully. There were other animals next to him but relatively few. This store seemed to cater to people who wanted purebred pets. Well, dogs, more specifically. It had a few rabbits, but its main business were dogs with pedigrees. Mark thought it made sense with his wish. After all, purebred dogs were expensive and that meant that in all likelihood he'd get bought by a rich person. Hence his wish. But Mark did not want to be bought or life a carefree dog's life! He wanted a carefree life as a human! He had to get out before someone wanted to make him his or her pet! Or else make them reconsider buying him.
