That night Chad found himself in the doghouse literally. Todd was apologetic, but his mother was adamant "No dogs in the house." Todd's former dog had a doghouse in the gated dog run on the side of the house. He gave Chad a blanket, bowls of water and dog food, then latched the gate, and went into his house to eat. After dinner, he brought Chad an old portable radio tuned to a station he said he thought Chad would like. He stayed with Chad talking for a while, as Chad periodically licked his now aching nut sack. Todd brushed Chad's fur while Chad's head lay in his lap.
Chad knew he was naked, but he also knew he was a dog. William had castrated him, and replaced his balls with silicone ones. Todd didn't know. Chad didn't know how he could communicate that in his current condition. It might be better for Todd, if he didn't know. Todd meant well bur Chad's canine hearing didn't really allow him to appreciate music in the same way as when he was human. The old radio produced a high pitched whine and whistling sounds that humans couldn't hear but dogs sure could.
"I'll take you walkies in the morning. Maybe you'll be human then, boy. I meant Chad. Goodnight. It's been a long day," Todd said before going back in his house.
Chad barked his goodnight, walked around 3 times in a circle and lay down. He thought unhappily f*@k I really am a dog. Maybe it's just a weird dream. When I wake up, I'll be human and still have my nuts. He fell asleep thinking that.
He was awakened around 3 am. He heard Rick and Bruno talking. They had obviously been drinking from the way the spoke.
"Which room do you think is Toddsh?"
"What makes you think Chad's in Todd's room, Bruno? Remember Todd's mother wouldn't let his old dog in the house, why would she let his new dog inside?"
"Oh, uh, yeah, I forgot. Besides Todd's bedroom is upstairs. I remember now. And there's a dog house around the side, right?"
"I tol' ya to stop after 4 beers, Brun!" Rick barked, "Now keep it down, we don't want to wake anybody," he whispered.
"Cept maybe waking Chad. You don't want to carry him do you?"
"Well, let sleeping dogs lie. Besides Willem gave me this syringe of tranquilizers just in case."
"Not really just tranquilizers, I watched him fill it. Used three vials. Tranquilizers and sumthin else," Bruno said knowingly, "Besides he said to use the leash and collar. Tranquilizers only if he gives us trouble."
"Bruno, heesh Chad. Heesh going to give us trouble."
Chad didn't want another shot. After hearing Bruno and Rick, he strongly suspected the injections he got from William were laced with something Besides what he told Todd was in them. He scooted over to the gate, stood their wagging his tail like a good boy. He felt bad for Todd, and himself, but going along with these guys was the only way he would be human again.
"Oh, look. See Chad is waiting for us to take him. Hey, boy, ready to go with your buds. Got your collar and leash here. Boss William says he'll put your balls back after obedience school." Bruno whispered as he knelt by the gate.
"Shut it, Bruno," Rick said in angry voice.
"Huh?"
"Gate is locked."
