I've read through everything, even the entire collection of illustrated stories Haibane linked, (and it took me...oh...30 pages before I puzzled out that each page was read right side first, from top to bottom, back to the top left, and down again, sometimes separated into panels arranged vertically.  At first, I didn't have a clue what was being said), and this looks like it could be a lot of fun. I like the private club idea, with a large private building/hotel just for the membership, and the outdoors, public areas.  This does give rise to a couple questions though.  All waste is eliminated as urine, which means the pets will have to be walked frequently, And it's double extra humiliating to be forced to pee in public.  Not so much for the guys, I think... but, since I'm on the subject, do the boy dogs lift their legs to pee?<br/><br/>I think it would be interesting to imagine in their partially converted state...no they don't.  It's something they're forced to do in public to appear more "dog like".  Sniffing trash cans, and, well, you know, that whole dog thing.  A carefully staged act designed to humiliate the pet further.<br/><br/>Next question, are these mostly converted pets always strangers to the owners?  I imagine having a rival, an enemy, or whatever, kidnapped, and delivered to the same crooked scientists, and converted would be an interesting way in delivering a bit of revenge, or just taking someone out of the picture, for whatever reason.  It might add to the story, or introduce needless complexity, depending on how detailed the back story behind the kidnapped pet is explored.<br/><br/>Since there are going to be special garments to prevent the pets from being able to use their hands, or stand/walk/run, shouldn't there be something else to prevent them from speaking too?  Say something along the lines of a small, nondescript oral appliance, that can't be spit out, and prevents it's wearer from vocalizing most consonants?<br/><br/>Lastly, I'll do one of each type of character.  Owner, and pet, and I'll leave the state of the pet, either with mind/memories intact, or a fully converted dog, up to the needs of the story.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
