You wake up bright and early, eager to see if your plan has worked. Despite the fact that your own nose remains that of a dog, you are oddly hopeful now that it is possible that many others maybe be in the same predicament. Misery loves company, after all, and you stand a better chance of getting help if you aren't the only odd one out. You bound down the stairs and flip on the television.
