Zemelda had to think for a moment. The only transformation that didn't include an obvious reason for the transformation, like being bitten by a vampire or cursed, was the "Shaggy Dog" one. She placed her hands on Nate's feet and began the transformation. His legs began to merge, his skin turning a dark brown and his shoes ripping off. Nate's pants ripped off of him, leaving him in his underpants as his legs completed their transformation into an Old English Sheepdog. His underpants ripped off as they merged into his new back legs.
Nate let out a small yelp of pain. He was suddenly on all fours.
“Next...” continued Zemelda as she placed her hands on his hips. Nate felt a strange feeling wash over him. His waist and chest began to stretch. His muscles shrunk as his body grew hairier and hairier. His shirt ripped off, his chest and stomach growing into an even thicker coat of fur than his lower body. He now resembled an Old English sheep dog, but only from the feet up, with his upper body still being that of a human.
Zemelda reached for his arms, and they merged with his front legs. Nate let out another yell, this time in shock. He looked at what used to be his hands and watched as they changed. His fingers shrunk and merged into the paw, with his nail becoming the claw. It felt like a massive pins and needles sensation as his hands finished transforming into the front paws of an Old English Sheepdog.
The last transformation was the head and neck. The pain felt like someone was stabbing him with a thousand knives as his skin grew tighter and tighter. His head began to flatten, the hair growing longer as his jawline stretched into that of a dog's. His mouth began to grow and change, his teeth falling out and replaced with dog teeth. His tongue began to feel awkward in his new mouth. He tried to speak and only barked. His nose flattened into a dog snout and his eyes changed to those of a canine. The change continued upward, changing his neck to be a dog's one. As it finished, his vision was obscured by the long fur of the sheep dog.
The transformation complete, Nate stood there as a complete Old English sheep dog. He barked as he looked at his new body and then over at Zemelda. He couldn't speak to ask what she was going to do with him.
"Well, now that you are a dog, I'm sure you would rather be living with someone who can treat you as a pet. So, I am going to go drop you off at a pound. Someone will adopt you soon enough."
Zemelda took Nate by the scruff of the neck, easily lifting him into her arms and taking him out of his apartment and then outside. She left him tied to a pole outside the local animal shelter. As she watched, one of the workers saw him and walked out to bring him inside. It was only a matter of time until he was adopted.
Zemelda was satisfied with her first transformation and headed home. She thought to herself that she may have to check up on Nate. But she felt the need for more victims. She was addicted and would return for another. But who next?
