Bilbo the dogboy, and his girl, Sophia

Before my ascension. Before I had the words to articulate my thoughts and feelings. I loved Sophia. She and I were both pups together, but dogs grow up faster than humans, so it became my responsibility to look after her. Master and Mistress made it clear that it was my job to keep her safe.
We would play all the time. I loved ball and Sophia could throw it REALLY hard. I would have to sprint as fast as I could to catch the ball in my mouth. When I nailed it mid-air Sophia would be so impressed.

But eventually. I got old. I could not run as fast as I used to. I could not see or smell as well. Things started to get harder, even walking. I heard Sophia crying a lot. I tried to let her know that there was no reason for her to be sad. We were together. I tried to let her know that it would all be okay. But I let her down, she just cried and cried. Then step-Master said something to her. I remember a few of those words. "Anthropets" was one of them. "Changed." "Different" and "You will owe me" were among the things he said before Sophia carried me out to the car where I fell asleep.

When I next woke up. I was inside a big metal tube and I started to feel myself getting younger, stronger, and bigger. The proportions of the world changed as my body expanded along with my mind. New thoughts and ideas were engramatically encoded into my brain. Words, ideas, and beliefs started filling my head as my old life flashed before my eyes.

I came to, clutching the side of the ascension chamber breathing heavily as I looked at my reflection in the silvery surface of the metallic tube. I looked like a human. My tail was there and My ears were as sharp and distinguished as ever. But for those a passerby would think I was a shaggy haired Norwegian with my blonde locks and blue eyes. My tail wagged as the door slid open. "Bilbo." I heard Sophia say. "Come boy." I ran out and hugged my girl and lifted her into the air. I did not care that I was naked and erect. I was so happy that I twirled my girl around and started licking her face and lips. "Down. Down." My programmed instincts kicked in and I put Sophia down and fell to my knees. "I am happy to see you to Bil, but you have to learn self-control."
"I look forward to you training me again."I said wagging my tail. "Thank you for the new body." I said.
"Don't thank me. Thank Mr. Tapbert, he arranged it." Sophia said. I smelled Sophia's arousal and saw her cheeks blush at the mention of her step-father."

"Thank you, step-master." I said to the middle aged man who had been dating my mistress since her divorce from old-master.
The man cocked his eyebrow and said. "Think of it as your 20th birthday present, with interest to be collected later. "Now let's pick up Jazzmin and go home." The mention of step-master's cat made a growl escape from my lips. As soon as she had moved in I had made it clear that she was to stay away from me. But I was a good boy as Sophia collared and leashed me. She even let me walk on two legs like a person as we went down the Hall of Aascension. I discovered that the ascension chambers were transparent from the outside. I could watch as one animal after another was transformed into an anthro. I watched as one lucky animal after another was given a form more like that of a human, a form that was closer to God. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude to humans in general and my family in particular. I promised to be the best dogboy in the world and serve my owners with all of my will. Even if it meant putting up with a stinky cat. When Jazzmin's ascension chamber opened I was surprised to find that as a cat-girl, Jazzmin's aroma had improved significantly.
