    a boy is cooking in a kitchen with a pot and pan on the stove top and a book on the table

    It all started with a simple mistake. Tom, a 10-year-old boy, was too hungry to wait for his mother to finish cooking dinner. He saw a can on the kitchen counter and assumed it was some leftover stew.

    He opened the can and began eating. It tasted strange, but he was too hungry to care. After finishing the entire can, he noticed the label - it was dog food.

    As the hours passed, he started feeling weird, his senses becoming sharper, his hearing and smell intensifying. Tom brushed it off as his imagination running wild.

    The next day, he woke up with a fuzzy feeling. His voice sounded strange, his vision was different, and his body felt odd. He looked in the mirror and saw fur growing on his face.

    His parents were shocked and took him to the doctor, who was equally baffled. By the end of the day, Tom had completely transformed into a dog.

    Despite the drastic change, his parents loved him no less. They cared for him, fed him and made sure he was comfortable in his new form.

    Tom tried to communicate with them, but all that came out were barks and whines. His parents, interpreting this as bad behavior, decided to hire a dog trainer.

    The dog trainer was an old, stern man named Mr. Barkley. He saw Tom's attempts to communicate as disobedience and decided to 'correct' him.

    He implanted the command, 'Be a good boy,' in Tom. The command was so strong that it silenced his human consciousness, pushing it to the back of his mind.

    Tom tried to resist, but the command was too strong. He started behaving like a perfect dog, obeying every order, and not making a fuss.

    His parents were delighted with his behavior, unaware of the internal struggle Tom was going through. He was trapped in his own mind, unable to communicate or express himself.

    His life was now a series of commands, and he was a good boy. He ate when he was told, played when he was told, and slept when he was told.

    His days were filled with fetch, walks, and meals. His nights were filled with dreams of running free, of speaking, of being human again.

    He missed school, his friends, and the simple pleasure of being able to express himself. He missed his old life but had no way of getting it back.
