The weirdest role reversal story ever told

"WINTER!" Emily snapped loudly as she eyed the damage to her living room, her new yellow lab sitting on the newly destroyed couch and flinching. "BAD DOG!"

Winter whimpered as she jumped down from the couch.

"I consider myself to be an owner that's tough but fair." Emily said as she grabbed the dog by the collar and lead her towards a metal cage. "But this is the straw that broke the camel's back! You broke my couch, you broke my TV, and -" she looked over to a large yellow spot on the carpet, "I know for a fact that that isn't lemonade on my new ten thousand dollar carpet!"

Winter whimpered again.

"You know what? I don't know why I ever thought owning a pet would be a good idea!" Emily shouted as she opened the cage and practically shoved Winter into it, closing and locking it as the dog as Winter turned around and looked up at her pleadingly. "Don't give me that look! Tomorrow you're going back to the pound so I can get my money back! I'm too tired tonight!"

Winter hung her head as Emily walked off in a huff towards her bedroom... Neither seeing the tiny drone hovering in the house before flying right up the chimney.

In a spaceship hovering over Earth, an anthropomorphic rottweiler dressed in a militaristic uniform growled angrily at what he had just seen as a calico cat dressed like a scientist and a mastiff dressed like a politician looked on in disappointment.

"Do you not see what our brethren are facing, Mr. President?!" The rottweiler snarled. "Those apes have been pulling this crap for millennia! And I say we put a stop to it!"

"It is very disappointing, Commander Killer." The mastiff said sadly as he shook his head. "I was hoping that it would never come to this in regards to interplanetary interactions, but I see ****. Prepare for war."

"President Goliath, if I may?" The calico suddenly spoke up, getting the attention of the two dogs. "I think I have a nonviolent solution to this problem."

"Hmm... You may proceed, Dr. Snuggles." President Goliath said with a nod.

"Well, Mr. President," Dr. Snuggles said as she pushed up her glasses and gestured to a button, "I have been working on a powerful reality warping ray that, in theory, will swap the roles of the humans and their 'pets'. I haven't tested it yet, but once this baby releases it's powerful reality altering waves on the planet, cats and dogs will be the dominate species of the planet with humans as their pets. And the best part is, not a single human, dog, or cat will remember the opposite being true. I mean, unless the dog and/or cat was in contact anything made of pure silver and the human was protecting their head with foam. But really, what are the odds of that?"

"And if they do come into contact with those?" Commander Killer asked.

"Well, the dog and/or cat wouldn't want to sound crazy, so they'd keep their mouth shut." Dr. Snuggles replied, "The Human? Well, I put in a command for those dogs and cats that are effected to take the humans that weren't in to hypnotize them into either barking or meowing so they won't get blabby."

President Goliath licked his jowls as he seemed to ponder the idea. After a few seconds, he nodded his head. "You may fire when ready, Dr. Snuggles."

The calico purred with excitement as she pressed the button.

"Oh, will you shut up?!" Emily yelled from her bed at the barking Winter. "I've made up my mind! You're going back to the pound first thing tomorrow!"

Winter continued barking and whining.

"That's it! Fuck the pound! I'm putting up a sign on the lawn and giving you away to the first unlucky soul who asks!" Emily screamed as she reached into her side table and pulled out two foam earplugs, jamming them into her ears before smiling at the sudden silence and drifting off to sleep.

Winter continued to bark for a few more seconds before stopping, letting out a whine as she curled up on the cage floor. Her dog tag, which Emily had paid a pretty penny for to be made out of the purest silver, clinked against the steel bars of the cage floor as she fell asleep...

As several light blue waves of energy bathed the planet.

*CRASH!*

Emily jolted awake. The earplugs were enough to drown out Winter's barking, but that crash was way too loud.

"Crap! Crap! Crap! She's gonna kill me!"

Emily took the plugs out of her ears and jumped out of bed, grabbing a baseball bat as she swung the door open and snuck to her kitchen where she found her fridge face down on the floor...

And a completely naked, anthropomorphic Winter staring at her as Emily dropped the bat in shock. "Don't panic..." The lab said softly.

Emily screamed. "WINTER?! I - You - How - Why - WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

"I don't know what happened either, Emily! I swear!" Winter exclaimed, "One minute, I'm in my cage trying to be a Good Girl so you change your mind about taking me back to the pound. Then I wake up and BAM! I look like something out of that convention my last owner accidentally walked us into! Please don't take me back to the pound! I'll be a good dog!"

"'The pound'?!" Emily exclaimed, looking the anthro dog up and down. "I'm taking you down to a science lab to dissect you and see whatever the hell you are!"

Winter looked up quizzically as Emily grabbed her keys and Winter's leash.

"Either way, you'll be out of my life and be put to sleep!"

After saying that, Emily turned around and gulped as she saw Winter glaring and growling at her.

"You know something?" Winter growled, grabbing Emily by her pajama top. "Ever since you adopted me, all you have ever done was yell at me, insult me, lock me up in that cage, and hit me with a rolled up magazine. It was like I never left the - Scratch that! The pound actually treated me better than you ever had!"

"W-what are you saying?" Emily gulped.

"Bad human!" Winter barked.

"What the hell is going on?!" A now naked Emily asked herself in horror as she was collared and tied to a tree in her own front yard, watching as several anthropomorphic dogs were either walking naked people on leashes or playing with them in their yards.

Meanwhile, Winter, now dressed in Emily's favorite outfit, was finishing putting up a sign that read, "Free To A Good Home".

"Do you have a permit for that, Ma'am?"

"Oh thank God! Officer! You've -" Emily began as she looked up, her hope dying as she saw an anthropomorphic German Shepard in a police officer's uniform stare at her as Winter turned to face the two. "Gotta be freaking kidding me!"

"Ma'am are you aware that your human is talking?" The German Shepard asked.

"Is something wrong, Officer..." Winter squinted at the badge, "Baby?"

"Not technically, no." Officer Baby said as he eyed the naked blonde. "However, you may need to take her into the vet to have her barking again. This is an extremely rare occurrence, practically never happens, but it's curable."

"Actually, I was just about to give her away." Winter said as she smiled evilly at her former owner. "However, I don't think I can afford the procedure. Would you please take her for me, Officer?"

"Well, it is my civic duty to bring a talking human in for it to be corrected... But it's not really my duty to do favors, Ma'am." Officer Baby stated as he lowered his sunglasses at Winter. "However, I might be able to be persuaded, Ms. ..."

"Winter."

"Well, Ms. Winter, I could drop your human off at the pound where their vet can look her over, bathe her, fix that talking problem through hypnosis, and find her a new home..." Officer Baby said slyly, "Provided that a cute little thing like you joins me for dinner tonight. Say, eight?"

Emily balked at this. Not only were these two talking like she wasn't even there, but if Winter said yes to this, she'd be off to the pound?!
