"It's dark enough now," she said as she swung the hand leash around in an arch. "Nobody will be able to see that you are a deformed dog." She unhooked the backyard leash from John's collar and attached the one she held in her hand.
Ashley tugged on it. "C'mon, boy. Come."
She led John through the car port and down the driveway. John followed by walking on the balls of his feet rather than scrap up his knees on the pavement. He didn't like Ashley talking down to him anymore. At least right now. He didn't want to be a dog right now. What he wanted was to stretch out and have a drink. But here he was being forced to heel as his owner marched him down the darkened street on all fours.
He said nothing rather trying to focus on enjoying the walk as a dog might. During their little trek, only one car passed. Ashley hid him behind some bushes as if her dog were taking a pee.
Back at the house Ashley pulled the swimming trunks off of John and around the chains connecting his ankles to the cock and ball ring leaving him naked. She dressed herself in some light weight pajamas. Then she sat down on the sofa to watch some TV before bedtime.
John began to climb up on the sofa to be next to Ashley but she stopped him with her hand.
"Nu-uh...no," she said.
"Why not?"
"My sister doesn't even like dogs in the house, more or less on her furniture."
John resigned himself to the floor. "Come on, Master. You've been treating me like a dog all day. Can't I have just a little break?" He raised his mitts and looked at the locks dangling from them. "At least mentally?"
"Sure, doggie." She threw the TV remote onto the floor next to him. "There you go. I'll let you run the remote."
John grew agitated. She knew damn well that his fingers were encased in the stainless steel mitts. The remote was as un-user-friendly to him as it would be to a... a dog.
"Please, Master..."
"What? What do you want from me, John? I'm afraid that you are stuck like that until we get home. This IS what you wanted, isn't it?"
John hung his head. "Yes."
"You know, your little fetish here hasn't made my day go by any easier," said Ashley. "You have been absolutely worthless to me chained up like that. It's been like you are just a dog."
John looked up at her.
