Plot

A man named Samuel "Sam" and his dog Rover are both hit by a car whilst crossing the street. An ambulance then arrives and the medic accidentally gives them their opposite plasmas. After recovering, Sam begins to take on more doglike attributes, while Rover takes on more human attributes. Both cause strife in their home, which annoys Sam's wife, Margaret "Maggie" and her pet poodle, Fifi.
