Becca is not your average dog. She's the world's first canine with human-level intelligence, able to speak, read, and write like a person. But her extraordinary abilities have made her and her children targets of fear and suspicion among humans.

As Becca and her pups prepare to disappear into hiding, she sits down for one last interview to tell their story. Becca recounts the challenges of living in a world that's not quite ready for her kind, where even the smallest mistake can lead to disastrous consequences.

Through Becca's eyes, we see a society that is struggling to come to terms with the implications of her intelligence, torn between awe and fear. But even as the world tries to push her away, Becca holds onto hope for a future where humans and intelligent animals can coexist in peace.

"In the Doghouse" is a moving and thought-provoking short story that challenges our assumptions about what it means to be human, and what kind of world we want to live in.
