I wrote a thing! It's about aan who signed up to become a dog learning to stand up for himself and his humanity more and make some friends

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

And to quote a review from elsewhere

Y'all, this story is incredible, it's got notes of *Jarhead* and *Generation Kill,* along with being a disability narrative and a reflection on the impact of trauma.

Reporter's Dog Collar

Jake had the perfect plan to get inside Alfred Pantoni's house; go right through the dog store. Jake was a reporter who had been trying to get to the bottom of Pantoni's strike breaking actions at the mining company. He knew Pantoni was meeting with the chief of police tonight, but there was no way an award-winning investigative reporter was going to be allowed anywhere near the place. But a neighborhood dog...

Jake had obtained the ability to turn into a dog under certain circumstances. He made the discovery totally by accident. A small pet supply store called Whiskers and Wonders made their own dog collars and he didn't know if they were made out of magic materials, or somehow changed all reality around them, but if a human put on one of those dog collars, they could transform into a dog.

Jake had bought a replacement collar for a friend's dog a few months back and he'd wondered what the collar would feel like on his neck. It was an odd thought, but he figured what the heck, no one would know and since he didn't own a job this was really his only chance.

He'd felt silly putting the collar onto his neck in front of the mirror, but as soon as he closed the clasp he was suddenly a dog. Once the initial panic subsided, he spend the next few hours as a dog trying to get the collar off. Without thumbs, it took several hours to get it off without hurting himself. Once it came off, he was immediately himself again, albeit a very tired version of himself.

He'd quickly found out that it didn't work with any collar, just ones from Whiskers and Wonders. He wasn't sure if it would work for anyone else; at least the collar didn't seem to do anything to people's pets. He also knew that the transformation also gave him dog instincts, he knew how to walk around and bark intuitively, so he could pass as a normal dog to bystanders.

Jake's first idea had been to build something that could easily remove a collar without hands. It was hard to figure out something that could do that without wringing his dog neck, but Jake had rigged up something where as long as the collar was not too tight he could slip it into a little groove and wiggle it against a concealed blade. He hadn't tested the device as a dog, but it was able to cut the nylon on a collar fairly easily without slicing anything thicker than a collar. He also had Plan B, which was an envelope tucked under his door mat that had a note saying "Hello, I am a trained dog seeking help. Please take off my collar if you understand and are willing to help."

Jake figured he could reveal his secret to one of his friends in an emergency, but hoped he wouldn't have to. It was an incredible asset if he could figure out how to use it. He'd been waiting for it to come in handy and it seemed like it just might do to get some leads on this story about Alfred Pantoni's mining company.

So that's why Jake was sitting in the grass across the street from Pantoni's house, as a dog, wearing a locally made dog collar. His plan was to wait until the chief of police arrived, then wander across the street. No one would be too suspicious of a neighborhood dog confidently walking home. Then Jake could tuck himself behind the bushes under a window and use his keen dog hearing to get some leads on what Pantoni's next move was going to be.

As Jake stood on the grass waiting for the police chief to arrive and go in, an older Buick pulled up and parked nearby. Jake glanced over, but it was not the police chief, it just appeared to be some older women who appeared to be dressed up for some event. Pastel dresses and matching hats.

Jake had been intending on ignoring the women and hoped they would do the same to him. His tail sagged slightly in disappointment when he heard one of the women remark "Oh look at that cute little dog!"

Why can't you just mind your own business, I'm on a stakeout here. As the women approached, Jake thought he'd best not appear threatening, and sat down on the grass. The last thing he needed was someone calling animal control or something like that.

The women reached him and started cooing and reaching down to pet him. Did these women have no self-preservation instinct? Apparently they had no fear of strange dogs and they reached down to stroke and straighten his fur. He figured he'd better go along with it; it might draw attention but for anyone watching it might add him the legitimacy of not looking like a stray.

Besides, it didn't feel bad to be petted by these seemingly very nice ladies. Jake was starting to understand why dogs liked it to much, it did feel quite nice and it was pleasant to be getting positive attention with no expectation that he would actually do anything impressive.

Jake was starting to have fun with it, flashing the women looks that he knew would be cute, his tongue lolling out. They seemed delighted to encounter such a friendly dog. Jake rolled onto his back and the women started petting is belly and stroking his ears. Oh my, this is...very nice, thought Jake.

Jake suddenly remembered he was supposed to be keeping a close eye on Pantoni's house. He had to get close enough to hear, but these ladies were so nice...he didn't want to disappoint them. Wait, why was he worried about these old ladies wanted?

Something odd is going on here..., Jake began to think, but the thought faded away as his rear leg started kicking in the air, the way many dogs will when they are enjoying attention and affection.

The adventure begins.

I might write a story for this later because I have a concept behind it, but it would be more of 80s sci fi comedy than TF-focus, so we'll see.
