I'm glad I didn't accidently adopt out someone's pet, then.
Or, you know. In this case a person.
It doesn't sound entirely insane. We have werewolves and animagi in my world. Animagi can control their change and still keep their minds. Werewolves have no control over it and they're dangerous when transformed. What are the rules behind it, in your world?
Either way, I'll wait and make sure any collies we wind up with are actually collies before I let someone adopt one.
