Winston Churchill is quoted as saying, "A cat looks down on man, a dog looks up to man, but a pig will look man right in the eye and see his equal.” The four stories in this sci-fi compilation all have a related theme, yet each is totally unique. Former pets evolve over time, to become masters. Concurrently, humans devolve to become their pets or slaves. Each scenario features two quasi-intelligent species. After reading this, you'll never look at dogs, horses, elephants, or swine - the same as prior to reading these stories. Read how humans devolved to servile ape-like beings, while their former pets developed analytical thinking abilities - and the ensuing interactions are surprising, and sometimes bloody.
