Husky TF Sequence commission for ZeroTheHusky (Furaffinity)
Story by me!

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.
The pencil swayed between his two fingers, each side hitting the desk impatiently as Zero clicked away at his browser.
His head shook for a moment as he brought a free hand to his brow. Beads of sweat danced down onto his hand, which he reluctantly wiped on the side of his clean work pants.
"It can't be this hot all week, are you serious?"
Zero sighed, the Weather Today website was usually never wrong. And if today's forecast was any indication, he was better off staying inside his cubicle with the air conditioning the rest of the day.
He found it odd though, that the air conditioning wasn't turning on in the building yet. Normally it'd would have been blasting at full at this time of the day, unless the CEO was trying to pinch pennies.
As he scrolled up and down to his dismay, the website began to act strangely, constantly popping up with an ad for some sort of pet adoption service. At least three of them popped up after he had closed the first. After a frustrating missed click, the ad started to open a redirect to it's full site, "Oh no you don't." Zero responded, quickly closing the entire browser process.

Zero leaned back in his chair, exhausted by the heat that seemed to be growing ever hotter. Wiping his face down with his cleaning cloth for his glasses, Zero glanced back at his computer as his tongue slipped out of his mouth. He began to pant rapidly, unaware that his tongue had already become much larger than his mouth was accustomed to fitting. Zero let out a groan of frustration as his computer froze, "What is it NOW? Did it overheat?" A familiar blue crash screen appeared as he rose from his increasingly uncomfortable chair so his curly tail could wag more freely.

He continued to wonder why the heat was only getting worse, but as he bent down under his desk to check the air vents, he was greeted with a blast of cool refreshing air. The vents were on all this time? Why is the room still this hot then? Continuing to pant under the desk, he rose up. Scratching the back of his neck with his now clawed, pudgier fingers, an itching sensation had grown increasingly uncomfortable all over. It was when he wobbled back up on his two legs and lost balance for a moment, that he noticed something strange about his nose, had it started to migrate away from his face while he was under the desk? Confused but intrigued at the development, he let out a small "ARRFF??" He found was unable to speak with his new facial structure as it pushed further out, growing a nice sheen coat of fur across his muzzle. He looked over the rest of his body, that had already seemingly grown it's own fur while he was distracted.
Too late to stop any of his changes from progressing, Zero let out a bark as he shook down his pants, kicking them off of his legs as they shortened and changed in stance, taking on a more canine appearance.

The new husky hopped around for a moment, knocking papers off his desk, pulling over his chair, as his panting grew faster and more excited. "It wasn't hot in the building at all! I was just turning into a dog!" Zero had realized, kicking off his torn shoes and socks. His glasses falling off his snout as he looked back with glee at his curly wagging tail. As his changes settled, Zero's little doggy heart raced as he made a series of growls and barks that roughly translated to: "Being a good boy is way better than work! I'm gonna go explore!"
