Best Friend

“Laziness is not an option in our family Kaitlin!” snapped a tall, stern man as he looked at a slender, dark-haired girl.
“Leave off dad! I’ve only been out of school for a week and you're already having a go at me!” Kaitlin said,
“Well, If you hadn’t walked out on your exams then we wouldn’t be having this conversation” her dad continued, “Why couldn’t you be more like Hannah, she passed with top marks and works for a large computer brand”
“What me? Be like Hannah? A good obedient little dog” Kaitlin retorted, “Yeah right, just because she didn’t hang around with the cool kids doesn’t stop me from doing so”
“No but I can stop you until you get a job or a college offer!” her dad said as he stood tall and dominating over his daughter.
“Screw this!” barked Kaitlin as she walked towards the front door and left,
“Stupid girl, one day she’ll wish she had listened to you dad,” Hannah said as she hugged her father.

Kaitlin grumbled and mumbled all the way down to the local pet cemetery where her beloved German Shephard, Jim was buried. She never liked to admit it to anyone, what with her hard girl act at school, that she missed her dog, he was like a best friend.
As she sat down by the graveside she began talking about her day's events and about her failing in her school exams, “I just wish there was a way all my problems could just be over” she sighed as she lit up a cigarette.

As the young girl began to smoke a small, pink box appeared in front of the gravestone followed by a loud “WOOF”.
Kaitlin looked around to see no-one else around when she caught sight of the pink box just sitting there,
“Huh,” she quizzed as she picked up the box and opened it to find a small syringe sitting inside alongside a note,
“Having problems with life, try this it will help you out” she said as she read the note.
She picked up the syringe and looked at the strange blue liquid in it,
“Couldn’t hurt providing it’s not drugs?” she told herself as she rolled up her coat sleeve.
She gave the syringe a little push, squirting some of the liquid onto her arms,
“Smell’s like dog food!” she commented as she sniffed it,
“Taste like dog food too!” she said as she licked her arm
She winced as she injected the liquid into her arm wondering how this liquid was supposed to make her life better. Kaitlin’s eyes widened as once all of the liquid was in her bloodstream, the box, syringe even the puncture mark disappeared with a small “POOF”
“Ok!” she said slightly confused as she pulled her coat sleeve back down.

“30 minutes later”

Kaitlin returned home to pick up her phone charger but as she was throwing into her coat pocket she saw Jim’s dog collar hanging from a nail on the wall,
“How do you get there?” she quizzed as she grabbed a hold of it.
Her fingers rubbed the silver tag revealing the name “Kaitlin” instead of “Jim”.
Without thinking about it she put the collar around her neck and fastened the buckle, giggling slightly as the cold metal tag touched her skin.

“So you decided to come back?” her dad said as Kaitlin entered the kitchen,
“Yes but I’m staying at Stacey’s tonight,” Kaitlin said as she began to search through the cupboards until she found some of Jim’s old treats that she had saved,
“What do you need with those?” her dad asked
“For eating” replied Kaitlin with a smile as she popped them into her pockets,
“Really! You like eating doggy treats?” her dad quizzed his voice filling with concern,
“Yeah, so what, dog chocolate and biscuits are alright for humans” Kaitlin explained.
“Ok but....” he began,
“But nothing dad maybe you should give Hannah a treat for being such a good girl” Kaitlin joked as she pushed past her dad.
“Kaitlin?” he called as the front door shut.

“An hour’s bus ride later”

“Hey Kaitlin” smiled her friend as she opened the door,
“Hey” chuckled Kaitlin as she gave her friend a hug,
“Ow, your nails!” winced her friend as she felt something blunt scratching her neck.
Stacey held Kaitlin’s hand out and looked,
“Sweet nails!” Stacey commented as she looked at the black claws protruding from the nailbeds,
“Yeah had them done today” smiled Kaitlin
“Cool, where did you get them? I want some!” Stacey asked rubbing the claws.
“Can’t remember” sighed Kaitlin as she released her hands from her friend’s grip and entered the house.
“So how have you been?” Stacey asked
“Yeah, I’ve been alright apart from my dad being the usual” Kaitlin said,
“Well, thanks again for taking the blame for that” Stacey smiled,
“Well yeah, that bitch of a cheerleader deserved it, even if it did cost me my exams” Kaitlin said as took off her coat.

Inside her mouth, her canines grew longer gaining a sharp point as the rest of teeth followed their example.
“Fancy a drink?” asked Stacey as she grabbed a beer from the kitchen,
“Just water please” smiled Kaitlin as her tongue started to lose it’s taste buds.
“Your sure, you never turn down a beer!” Stacey said as she cracked open her beer,
“Well some people like a change,” Kaitlin said as a small nub grew out of her tailbone,
“Speaking of change” Stacey began, “What’s happening to your nose?
Kaitlin just looked at her friend as her nose began to darken and glisten under the light as a small amount of moisture appeared on it,
“It’s turning black,” Stacey said,
“What are you talking about my nose is fine,” Kaitlin said as she rubbed her nose not caring as she felt the wetness on it.
Stacey shuddered as Kaitlin’s nose turned upwards more, her mouth and nose seemingly pulling outwards slightly,
“What’s happening to you?” cried Stacey as she walked up and felt the slight muzzle her friend had grown,
“Everything’s fine” smiled Kaitlin as her fingers began to shorten and thicken into stubby toes while her thumbs slid up to her wrists.
Stacey back away as Kaitlin’s ears grew longer and wider, the tips twisting in points as they slid up to the top of her head.
Kaitlin began to stare and whine at her friend as her muzzle grew longer.
“Kaitlin stop this your scaring me now!” begged Stacey,
“Woof” barked Kaitlin as her head was now fully that of a canine.

Her tight skinny jeans dropped to the floor in a heap as Kaitlin’s waist and hips grew smaller.
Stacey was surprised as she saw her friend’s pink underwear still hanging on, she got up and walked around to the back of her friend to witness the final growth to a fleshy tail holding her baggy underwear up.

“Kaitlin, How can you be fine with what’s happening to you?” Stacey said as Kaitlin’s anus shrunk and was soon joined by a small darkening vagina that was once position strong and human around the front.
“WOOF” barked Kaitlin as she dropped to all fours.
Her toes grew thicker and slightly shorter as her heels pulled up into the air, her rears paws looked small compared to the size four trainers that they were stood in.

“Woof” she continued to bark as her legs thickened and shortened,
“You can’t be a dog your my best friend Kaitlin, please stop this” Stacey said kneeling down in front of her shrinking mate, noticing that her friend’s eyes were dark and lack any bright colouring.

Kaitlin's soft white skin, sprouted dark brown hair with a little hint of black as she stopped shrinking.
Stacey sighed as she patted her best friend, the thoughts of what had happened her friend made her realize that she would have no choice but to look after her friend and explain her disappearance to Kaitlin’s parents,
“How do you expect me to do that?” she asked looking at the happy dog in front of her.
