| Lady: My Life as a Bitch | comment |
A 2001 novel by Melvin Burgess (who wrote the novelization of Billy Elliot).Sandra Francy is an Ordinary High-School Student... well... she was before she started slacking off, and generally ignoring her schoolwork in favor of going clubbing, doing drugs, sleeping around, and generally having what she thinks is a 'good time'.All that changes, however, when she has an unfortunate encounter with Terry, a tramp who's Blessed with Suck, with the ability to transform people into dogs when he gets angry.Now stuck as a dog, Sandra (or Lady, after being named by Terry) is stuck on the streets, her family and friends not recognising her doggy form. She quickly makes a starling discovery though - Lady isn't the first person to be changed into a dog, as she finds after meeting Mitch and Fella, two guys who were once humans, but accidentally incured Terry's anger.Now Lady has a tough choice, either live out her days as a dog, or try and return to human form.The novel sparked a bit of controversy when released due to its content. Needless to say it can get a bit crude at times (dog sex anyone?), and is more suited for a mature audience. | |

Those Two Guys | |
| Lady: My Life as a Bitch / int_1c79ae8c | comment |
Those Two Guys: Mitch and Fella are never seen without each other, and their only role is to present two the two conflicting feelings Sandra has about being a dog, rather than being characters in their own right. Their only actual difference is their attitude to their curse. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Lady: My Life as a Bitch / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Lady ends up failing to reconnect with her family but she comes to terms with her transformation, deciding that she'd rather live the exciting life of a dog over being a boring human and goes to live with Fella and Mitch. However, this could easily also be interpreted as a Downer Ending. | |

The Transmogrifier | |
| Lady: My Life as a Bitch / int_b9983090 | comment |
The Transmogrifier: Terry the homeless man has the power to transform people into dogs. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to control it to any degree, and it usually activates when he's angry at someone - as is the unfortunate case with the main character. While it's hinted there IS a way to turn back he doesn't know what it is. By the time Sandra meets him, he's accidentally transformed his mother, father, wife and daughter, and all four have died or run away since then, leaving him a friendless alcoholic tramp. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Lady: My Life as a Bitch / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: There's a scene early on in the book where Fella and Mitch try and persaude Sandra whether to try to turn back into a human or not. Fella argues that you are free from worries and responsibilities as a dog, and that your speed, as well as your sense of smell, taste and hearing, are not worth giving up. Mitch on the other hand argues that you can't achieve anything of real substance or influence as a dog, and that Sandra's family will be worried sick about them already and it's selfish of her to stay this way because her mother will think she's dead. Sandra notes that she's tempted to side with both of them. | |
