Mary dropped her shoes and hat in the entryway, and practically ran to the bathroom. She was startled by the changes. Here ears were much longer, with the tips poking through the top of her hair. But they were no longer wide at the tip; instead, the tips were very narrow and pointed. Her nose was slightly larger, and slightly turned up. She opened her mouth and revealed the same sharp canines, but her tongue was much longer. She could almost pant if she tried. The hairs on her arm were no longer soft and brown. They were still very short, but now were black in color and felt stiff.
What happened, Mary thought. Why am I changing like this? Mary lifted her shirt. Her breasts were much smaller now; her current bra was pretty useless. She though about getting a new bra, but reasoned that she probably wouldn't need one at all if she continued her experiment. Three new nipples were now present along the nipple line. Just below her waist she saw more of her fur, but it appeared much thicker, fuller and more pronounced. Again, the fur was dark black with a few brown patches near the center.
It appeared that she was turning into a different breed of dog, but why? The vial was just labeled "Dog" , and didn't indicate any breed. Did each sip randomly change you to a different breed? Mary felt her back, and much to her surprise, felt a small tail. She turned to look at it in the mirror. The tail was still early in its development, but its small stubbly shape was immediately familiar. It was the tail of a Doberman Pinscher, exactly like the one she had just seen on Max.
Of course, she thought. All of that contact with Max must have affected the potion's magic in some way. She looked herself over in mirror, and thought about Max.
Well, he has a handsome dog. And a Doberman is a good breed. They are pretty strong, and not too large or small. She decided that she liked the idea. But she wanted to insure that she continued to become a Doberman, and not some other breed. She remembered John's invitation, and began to form a plan.
