Spike's dog went missing for three years. The night after she came home, she helped him with his homework instead of eating it.

There's a story behind that.

Species Change AU: What if the unicorn Twilight Sparkle had been born a dog, in the human world? How would Princess Celestia cope?

_{There's some kind of "Species Change" event or something like that going on right now, idk. They're only allowing one story per author, so whatever.}
