Thank you. :) No, you haven't missed anything. This is the first bit of the story - the sequel (which I've noticed you read) goes into it more though. I probably should mention this somewhere, but this whole concept is loosely based off of the 1995 movie "Fluke" where a man is reincarnated as a dog. I was inspired by that movie to write this, but I changed a lot so the plot doesn't follow the movie...just the basic idea, I suppose.

I'm glad you enjoyed the Merlin and Gwen interaction - I liked writing those bits. It's such a cute image. :)
