Hearing the crying, Shaggy began to whimper and felt he really needed to get inside of the room. The sheepdog decided her would try to open the door. He had seen humans open these contraptions countless but then again, he realized they had one advantage over him, opposable hands. He had paws. Shaggy huffed and contemplated what to do. Then he suddenly figured out what could serve rather useful and let out a bark proclaiming how ingenious it was to him.
Shaggy wrapped his mouth around the door handle and tilted his head to turn it as he pushed the door in with his body weight. It worked! Trotting inside, Shaggy hopped onto the bed with Kevin and curled up next to him in an attempt to comfort him. Kevin looked up, his face wet from his tears, and he suddenly wrapped his arms around his brother now dog, burying his face into the neck scruff.
"I'm so sorry Jared!" Kevin cried out between his sobs. "I didn't mean to do this to you. It's all my fault. God, I want to take it back. I want you back. I don't want you to have to remain like this the rest of your life!!! I'll feel so guilty... Please let me take it back."
As if on prompt, all the fur began to recede from Shaggy, making him become a little confused. Memories began to fill his head that seemed to be from another life. The dog began to whine as his muzzle began to push into his face. But Shaggy began to howl in pain when his legs reformed from digitigrade back into a human leg. The sheepdog rolled off the bed and crawled underneath. Kevin was completely caught off guard when this happened, his mouth dropped open in awe.
The howls and whines soon turned into human shrieks and screams, then suddenly came to a stop. Peeking over the bed slowly and hesitantly, Kevin choked out, "J-Jared...?"
A human hand reached from underneath the bed and soon after, a human figure recognizable as his brother Jared crawled out from underneath. As expected, he was nude. But that didn't bother Kevin at the moment. He was just glad to see things were back to normal. Without any words and catching Jared by surprise, Kevin embraced his brother and cried out in joy, "Thank God you're back."
Still a little disoriented, Jared remarked to his little brother, "Now do you see why I told you we shouldn't do this anymore?"
Kevin nodded his head in full agreement and let go of his brother, then commented, "Now go get changed into some clot--- Hey, where did the collar go?"
Reaching his hands up to his neck, Jared was surprised yet relieved to find the collar was no longer there anymore. He shrugged a little and replied, "Maybe it fell off when I changed back. Let's look under the bed."
The two brothers simutaneously crouched down and lifted up the bed sheets to have a peek underneath, only to find...
