Jason obeyed immediately, sinking to the ground onto his haunches as his thighs shifted to permit a new sitting position. To his relief, a little nub tail grew out behind him, covered in black and brown fur, and he wagged it in joy as his Master praised him. She patted the top of his head, and some part of him realized that felt different than he would have expected. The brown hair on top of his head had changed into black fur!

"Good boy! Such a lovely coat too!"

Black and brown fur swept across his form, covering pale skin in dense fur. Though the fur was short, it was also thick and shone with a healthy luster that suggested an owner with an eye for detail.

His chest barreled forwards as his shoulders changed, his hips shifting slightly to make a canine stance more comfortable. By now his figure was slender enough to allow his shorts to slip free. His human mind would have had some concern for his modesty, but the increasingly powerful canine instincts knew that fur would be plenty enough.

His feet at last changed to match the shape of his hands, complementing them as a matching pair. Claire noticed and grinned.

"That's right, boy," she praised. "Down on all fours!"

He stood and stretched out, forepaws pushing out in front of him. His neck lengthened so that his head could reach further down towards his paws, and his nose pushed out into a muzzle all at once. It was filled with sharp teeth, but also with a long tongue that lolled out the side of his mouth. It curled in an exaggerated yawn as his stretch relieved the tension in his spine–the tension left behind by the progress of changes from human to canine. Before long, however, he finished his stretch, and stood with bright brown eyes looking up at his Master expectantly.

"Aww, what a cute boy!" she declared.

He spun in an excited circle his shorts discarded to one side as his claws made quiet clicking sounds on the floor.

"Speak, boy!" Claire commanded.

Jason gave an excited bark, beginning to jump up on Claire again before she gently pushed him off with a laugh.

"Down, boy," she commanded. "You need to learn to behave before we go on our trip!"

Jason's mind was buried under canine instinct, but the mention of the trip got his attention. He sat down seriously, though even so he couldn't manage to keep his hindpaws from doing a little excited dance as he waited.

He couldn't wait to go on vacation with his Master!
