We come to an ordinary home in the suburbs. This home is home to Detective David Cox, his wife June and their eight-year old girl Eryn. She a shy, brown haired girl and is very lonely. She doesn't have many friends, her father works late and she's a only child. Lucky for her, she has her own sibling substitutes; her dogs, a female rottweiler named Winnie and a male Husky named Johnny.

When Eryn was four, her parents got her Winnie as a puppy, naming her Winnie because she was soft and plushie like a stuffed animal. When she was six, they found Johnny by the side of the road, aged 4, where he was abandoned. They named him Johnny after how he liked to howl at Johnny Cash songs.

Today, Eryn loves Winnie and Johnny like the brother and sister she never had. But soon, something will happen that will change their lives forever.

We enter on a normal night for the Cox household. Eryn and the dogs are watching TV. It's Johnny's favourite movie, Balto. His tail is wagging a mile a minute, hung on every word. Winnie is chewing on her favourite chewtoy, a pink bone. Eryn is watching the movie with Johnny.

"I'm home." calls a voice from the front door. Eryn and the dogs know who that is.

"Daddy!" yells Eryn, running to the door. The dogs fallow suit, barking exitedly. She hugs her father while the dogs sniff his legs to pick up the new smells on their master's legs.

"Hey sweet heart." Detctive Cox tells Eryn, as his wife walks over to greet him.

"You're home early." comments mrs. Cox.

"Yeah, well, the case I'm stuck with is still going no-where with the case I have, so I thought I may as well come back to my best girls." Johnny perks up his ears whines a bit. "And best boy." he adds, which Johnny responds with a cheerful howl.

"You still don't know what's happening to all the animals, daddy?" asks Eryn.

"No honey." answers her father, "I don't know how they do it. They have stolen animals from homes, shelters, pet stores, even the zoo! No one knows where they will strike next." Johnny starts to whine with fear at the idea of him being next. Winnie and Eryn come to comfort him.

"It's OK, Johnny." says Eryn, giving him a hug. He licks his owner on the cheek then starts to smell the soles of her dad's shoes, which are coated in some sort of dust. He and Winnie start to sniff it, which causes them to sneeze and inhale a bit of the dust.

"What's on you're shoes, dear?" asks Mrs. Cox.

"Oh, that's some of the medicine that was spilled on the floor. Some of it must have gotten on my shoes." answers Detective Cox. "Now come on Eryn, time for bed."

"Awww, come one dad, it's friday night."

"You know the rules." her father tells her. She heads upstairs to get ready for bed, yawning as she goes. The dogs follow her upstairs. They walk into her bedroom while Eryn walks into the bathroom to take a shower and brush her teeth.

Winnie jumps up onto the bed and Johnny goes over to the window to look into the neighbor's yard. He stares at their shiba inu, Daisy, as she plays catch with her owners in the yard. His tail wags slightly and he barks at her to get her attention. Daisy turns around and starts barking back. They go back and forth for a few minutes until her owner yells at Johnny.

"Hey Cox!" he shouts, "Why don't you give that mutt of yours a muzzle?!?! Come on, Daisy." Daisy whimpers as her owner drags her inside. Johnny paws the window paine a bit then whimpers to himself. Eryn walks into the room, dressed in her PJs and says "Come one Johnny, time for bed." As Eryn got into bed, Johnny jumps onto the covers and starts to rest on Eryn's right side, while Winnie slept on the left like always. Johnny knew he would have to go another night without being able to meet his love, just like every night since they moved in. He went to sleep, thinking about Daisy. Same old, same old for the Cox house, but, unbeknownst to everyone in the house, something very strange was happening to their dogs: The toes on their paws were morphing.....

...

We jump ahead to the next morning. About 6:30, to be exact, when Eryn, who normally hates getting up any early then 7:00 in the morning, wakes up, ready to head downstairs to watch some saturday morning cartoons. Hey, it's kids, what are you going to do? Anyway, before she wakes up her dogs, she likes to look at Johnny sleeping. Eryn finds it very amusing to watch him dream. While Winnie normally stills still when she dreams, Johnny almost always kicks in his sleep which Eryn finds very silly.

As she starts to get up to look at her husky, however, she hears a voice. A deep male voice that says "Here Daisy. Oh, you're a bad little girl, aren't you?" Eryn's eyes shoot open and she sits straight up and sees that, in place of her husky from the night before is a fur-covered, human-shaped body! Eryn screams, causing the figure to roll off her bed and fall off with a thump.

"OW!" shouts the figure, starting to push himself up off the ground, "The only thing worse then falling when you are having a falling dream is falling when you are having a DIRTY dream!"

As the creature stands up, Eryn recognises the face. Althougth now more human then before, she can tell by the canine muzzle, pointed ears, black mask and blue eyes that it is Johnny!

"Johnny!" she shouts, with a mix of fear and wonder, "Is that you??!?!"

"Yeah," Johnny says with a yawn, "Why wouldn't it be?"

"BUT YOU ARE TALKING! AND STANDING ON TWO LEGS! AND A DOG PERSON THING!" explains Eryn. Johnny looks at his new arms and legs.

"Cool," is his responce, "It's like a cartoon. Wait, is it one? If there is an anvil, then it probably is."

Soon Eryn hears another voice coming from the other side of her bed, this time more feminine yet tomboyish.

"What's going on?" snorts the voice, as Eryn turns around to see that her other dog is now a dog-person too! This, beening too much for a kid to take, makes Eryn faint. Johnny tries to wake her up as Winnie looks over to see her brother (of sorts) has transformed.

"Hey Johnny, you look, weird. Like a person." she comments, begining to stand up.

Johnny looks over and adds "So have you. Look!" Winnie looks down to see her now human-like (and slightly curvaceous) body. She uses her new arms to try cover herself up. "Johnny," she tells him "We got to find some clothes!"

"Why?" he asks, "I'm OK like this."

" Now, Johnny." she demands. "I think the neighbors have some clothes on the line we can take."

"OK, OK. But could we take some photos first? I heard on TV there are people who would pay money to see a girl like you." Johnny tells her as they walk downstairs. Winnie wacks Johnny over the head. "Ow, what was that for?!?!" he shouts.

The two new anthros sneak downstairs and into the backyard. Looking over at the fence of the neighbors on the left side of the house, a young married couple, they see the laundry that is on the line. Winnie yanks some black lingerie with gold-lace trim, a pair of black cargo pants and a pink t-shirt. Johnny, meanwhile, grabs a purple pair of boxers, some blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Lucky for them, the clothes fit like a glove.

Winnie looks down at the shirt after she is finished getting dressed and notices that the shirt has Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony on it.

"My Little Pony?" asks Winnie, "What is she, four?"

"Don't be so harsh." Johnny tells her as he struggles to get his leg down the pants. "I've watched the new stuff with Eryn and it's actually very well done." Winnie raises an eyebrow at this revelavtion.

After getting dressed, the dogs walk back into their house. Before going back to Eryn's room, Johnny sneaks into her mom's room.

"What are you doing?" hisses Winnie.

"Testing a theory." answers Johnny. By this point, Detective Cox has already left for work, but Mrs. Cox is still asleep. Johnny tip-toes over to her and whispers "Hey you. Yes you!"

Winnie looks upon this with confusion as Mrs. Cox asks in her sleep "What?" between snores.

"You will cook meat for your dog's breatfast..." orders Johnny.

"But they're on a diet." explains a sleeping Mrs. Cox.

"Nuts to the diet!" Johnny tells her, starting to drool thinking about meat, "Make them bacon and sausage and but it in their bowls."

"OK." yawns Mrs. Cox. Through canine body langauge, Winnie asks Johnny what he's doing.

"I heard somewhere that some people are very suggestible in their sleep. Turns out it works." Johnny says to her.

Wanting to try this out, Winnie tells Mrs. Cox "Also, throw a water balloon at that stray tabby cat."

"But why?" ask Johnny and Mrs. Cox.

"That cat scratched me on the nose the other day." explains Winnie, rubbing a small scratch on the side of her snout.

"Well that's what you get for chasing him." Johnny tells her.

Winnie crosses her arms and says "Oh sure, take the cat's side, cat lover."

Offended, Johnny says "You sound like all the other dogs at fire hydrant. Well EX-CUSE ME for liking cats! You know-"

Winnie interrupts, rolling her eyes, "Yeah, yeah, after you were dumped on the streets, it was alley cats that gave up food and you wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for them. Listen lady, just throw the water balloon."

"Sure." snorts Mrs. Cox. Johnny sighs as they walk out of the room. They walk back into Eryn's room to find she's still asleep.

"What do we do know?" asks Winnie.

Johnny sits down and rests his back on the side of the bed. "I don't know about you, " he says with a yawn, "But I'm going to get some more sleep." As he starts to snore, Winnie shrugs and decides to rest and sleep right beside her brother. An unusual morning, yes, but this is just the tip of the iceberg......
