[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 880180, member: 4441"] I'll pull something out of fantasy stories to answer this question. I picked up a set of fairy tales, called something like "Enchanted Worlds," at a garage sale. I think they were some kind of Time-Life series like you would buy off the TV, as they are lovely hardcover books with glossy pages and lots of pictures There was one book for each theme - fairies, elves, giants, ghosts, wizards, enchantments, love, etc. One of the stories, I believe in either the fairies or enchantment book, dealt with the question posed above. The wife of a man was transformed into a dog to punish her husband. However, she was pregnant at the time. While her husband was eventually able to break the curse, the curser told him that the children's names weren't on the spell, and thus couldn't be broken. Thus the man's potential heirs were born dogs, though his wife was returned to her natural form. Now, they were very intelligent and loyal dogs, but still dogs. [/QUOTE]
