Dog Lost, Confidence Gained

James sat on his haunches by the lamp post, next the shop the group were escorting Kim around, in a state of disbelief. He supposed by this point it should no longer surprise him the lengths people were willing to go to in order to humiliate him now they had the power to do so. He did, however think that one of the group might have stayed to look after him for his basic safety.

As it happened, in broad daylight on a busy day he was not at risk of anything worse than being mocked in a language he didn't understand or openly leered at, passers by presumably thinking he was okay with being completely exposed in public. Occasionally he would bark at these people to encourage them to move on, having no way of otherwise reasoning with them even if they spoke English. He found that, just as often as moving away in embarrassment this would only cause further mirth or intrigue. He could only sit by the lamp post and hope the others didn't take too long. Until he saw a cat.

Ironically, James was more of a cat than a dog person. However, right now they were the absolute last thing he wanted to see. Lina had thought it cute to give him an order to compulsively chase cats which overrode all of his other doggy commands. There was a large, brown one, stray it seemed, walking past him now. James cursed himself as he moved onto all fours prepared to pursue it on his hands and knees, The cat walked past him and trotted down a side alley. James hoped his lead would prevent him from getting very far but Kim had tied it pretty loosely and with a bit of **** it unwrapped itself and set him free.

James crawled as quickly as he could down the side alley he had seen the cat exit into. When he turned the corner the cat was sat there quite contentedly by a bin, not seeing James as a dog or any kind of threat. However, when the naked human moved towards him and barked it briskly headed down another alley. James followed it there too. Then down another alley, then onto a main street and then down one more alley. At this point the cat bolted at a speed which James couldn't possibly keep up to. He followed it as far as he could, barking aggressively until it was clear he had lost it. The real problem though, was that he had completely lost his bearings and had no idea how to get back to the others.

The irony wasn't lost on Kim. Only a couple of hours ago she was parading James naked around a shop and now she was suffering the same indignity at the hands of complete strangers. Perhaps this was karma - if so it really was a bitch! She was feeling dreadful as she noticed the size and busyness of the supermarket, not to mention the number of surveillance cameras that were pointed at her, some of them even broadcasting her nakedness on screens she could see. Then she felt Lina's reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"While you are in this store, and only while you are in this store, you will feel incredibly proud of your naked body and want to flaunt it - to all the men who want to touch it and all the woman who envy it. You will see no problem being naked and in fact enjoy it. It is silly to be embarrassed about your body, yes?"

All of a sudden it was like a weight had been lifted from the normally shy and reserved girl. Lina was right, she did have a body she should be proud of. Why had she spent so long hiding it away from people? Well, one thing was for certain and that was that everybody in this store was going to see plenty of it!
