With a powerful leap, the bitch that used to be Ruth throws you down on the floor. “Ruth, please help me!” you plead. She’s standing on your chest looking down into your eyes which are, without you knowing beginning to change colour from blue to brown. “Please Ruth?” you beg as you see the other guard dogs slowly walking towards you and Ruth. “Why should I help? You didn’t help me” Ruth growls. You see that your blackened nose is beginning to push out from your face, which brings you more despair. “But I don’t want to be a dog!” You try to crawl away from the approaching guard dogs which are slowly advancing but the bitch on top of you pins you down. “Well, I didn’t exactly dream of becoming a dog either but here I am walking around on paws…” The other dogs now stand in a circle around you and look down on you. “Well, well what do we have here? Maybe a new member of our pack of guard dogs?” One of the males says. “Yeah, it would be great to get two new bitches on the team in one day. Then we would really have scored the jackpot” Says another male. “But first we have to make sure we have two bitches to begin with” Answers the first male. Suddenly the male’s barks become human words. “Hey, Jack! Bring over that powder, we need to make this girl into a proper bitch!” When you hear this you scream out in terror “NO!” And you begin to squirm to get out of the Ruth’s grip. The male that first spoke looks at Ruth. “So do you want to join our pack?” The male asks Ruth. “I don’t know…” Ruth sounds really uncertain. “The alternative would be that you live as a normal dog, so isn’t it better to join the pack so you can be human at least part of the time?” Ruth thinks for a moment. “Can’t I become totally human again?” The male makes a sound that almost sounds like a sigh. “No, I’ve already told you that’s not possible” Ruth seems to have made up her mind when you see Jack walking into the store holding the bag with powder.
