Overall setting is about animals dubbed 'special pets' that can change to humans when they meet their soulmate human counterpart and their feelings are intense at that point in time. They still retain their animal ears and tails even in human appearance. Sneezing would change them back into their animal form. ^^

Our little collie Ash's owner, an old lady has passed away, leaving him alone with no other >_< However, lucky him, you, the owner's granddaughter, come along and take him in. You both share a special bond as you who have lost your parents much earlier on, is also alone in this world.

So. Cute moments. When Ash is in his doggy form, you as the third person listener (NOT as the character I should think)is able to hear his thoughts as he describes what's happening, and translates doggy speak. (Woof! Give me food! Woof woof woof! What's that? It's nice and cold. I want one more one more!) You are all that he has, and he knows he is all that you have; He swears to protect you always.

Crucial moment comes when you are trying to take something off a shelf and almost losing your balance while poor doggy bounds about frantically wanting to protect you but can't do so. When you do fall, that's when he transforms in time to catch you before you hit the ground. [I was laughing uncontrollably at the conversation exchange, but I think if this were to really happen, that suddenly a guy appears out of nowhere that looks uncannily like my doggy complete with ears and tail, I would probably faint.^^;] By the way, when he transforms into human, he's naked. Well, not that he had any clothes on in the beginning anyway.

Pretty cute, lighthearted story. I enjoyed Ono Daisuke's portrayal, as it sounds like what my own doggy would be saying in his barks, all these demanding things that strangely cannot be resisted ^^; In the freetalk, it seems Ono had fun with this role as well!

Only one thing that disturbed me is doggy becoming love interest. >O< I mean. Well. Just not my appeal ^^; I'm glad Ono (and the script) didn't try to focus toooo much and just went along lightly with the flow. When I got wind of the direction it was going at first, I wanted to stop listening because that is just not my genre. But I couldn't, because there wasn't much emphasis on the lovey dovey scene AND anyway everything else were so cute!! I'm glad I didn't stop, because besides the very last part of track 12, I enjoyed this cd.

This should appeal to all dog lovers, even if you are like me and can't really take the thought of doggy = lover. Though the target audience seems to be for those who stay alone (as is usual), do give it a try!

Ono also pondered on what other animals would be portrayed in this series - after dog, definitely there would be cat right?... and then rabbit... and then.... chameleon (?!?!). I love Pet!! Chameleon! (lol)

Despite that, I find myself waiting for the next installment ^^; How will they portray the next animal breed? *_* (Sorry Ono, no chameleon)
