Weredog Sociology

The question was asked: “How exactly is a person changed into a weredog/wolf? Is the genetic code of the said person rewritten or edited?”

How it works is not completely understood. But, for certain it is a matter of transmutation of the “junk DNA”, at least the were portion of the junk DNA. Weredog scientists are studying this whole mess, trying to better understand it, alongside human scientists as they are seeking same. 

I cannot share the conversion process, how one is converted from dog, or human, to weredog, or werewolf. It is a heresy to even talk about it outside of the process itself. 

Nothing is the same for all weredogs. Each inhabits our 3 forms - dog, human, and weredog - for different lengths of time, depending on the individual.  Most reside in dog or human form for 5 to 10 years, depending on the breed and the individual’s physiology.  Some can only remain in weredog form for a day or so. Some for as long as a week. Some, I have heard, longer. 

In human phase we can live alone or with others. Often we live with families.  We never have pet dogs.  Ironically, many tend to have pet cats. No one knows why. And it is no small task for a weredog to get along with a cat. We take such relationships very serious. But, cats take a while to come around to weredogs. Birds are popular with some breeds, like labs and spaniels.  If you know anyone with  pet duck, they might be a weredog.

As dogs we live with people. All seek to live with a family. That is the weredog’s ideal set-up, with kids. But, that can’t always be found or arranged. A large number of weredogs work are military or police dogs. 

Dogs and wolves have this strange love-hate relationship. I have sensed the same in many people. Ganieda recently told me that all dogs, on some level of their canine subconscious, long to be a wolf. And all wolves long to be a dog.  I argued with her about this, a lot. But, the more I think on it the more sense it makes.  

She said our dog side is that part of us that longs for unity and order and safety. Our wolf side is that part of us that longs for freedom and individuality and risk.  

Yes, risk. Seeking risk is why we hunt, fight, and ride without helmets. It is why women like bad boys and why men like nasty girls. Love is all the sweeter with the risk of losing it or, better, having it betrayed.  

Due to our long association with mankind, weredogs are very social. We have hyper-developed social skills, much more so than other canines, such as wolves. Wolves value social interactions only within their pack. Wolves can even be described as anti-social. That is until very recently, in the past century. It’s my understanding that werwolves first started living amongst men as ranchers and cowboys, and a few as rangers, down in Texas back in the latter half of the 180s. 

Incidentally, the first proto-dog carnivores showed up between 40 and 50 millions years ago in what is now southwest Texas.  Weredogs, and werewolves, partial to Texas love that fact.
