You are having that horrible vision again, the one of the human pound. Since there are so many humans strays nowadays, your life had been one of monotony and fear, among millions of others with you. So many humans were at the pound, they had to be kept at dangerously small sizes in order to fit them all. Everything was huge and dangerous. During feeding time, the ten thousand others along with you would share a single bread crumb and one drop of water, the anthros there were so cheap. You all swarmed around the bland sustenance like ants, although you were much more insignificant than an ant.

On the bottom, you see a cute poster of an anthro dog holding a little human boy in his paw and petting him. You wish that you could read what was written below that comforting image.
Sure enough, the door starts opening several times, each time revealing a new anthro. All of the young giants start to sit down at chairs with tables attached to them, and they all look at you on your table. You like having this attention; it is much better than being ignored. As the last of the anthros walks in, you notice that they are all...
