Bruce McCallister. DreamPet. (Fantasy and Science Fiction, Nov/Dec 2015)
A story which starts with a successful executive bringing the latest genmod puppy as a present to his daughter’s birthday party.

(* hunting, not, you know…)
A story that was pitched as a movie back in the day – which would start out My Little Pony and end up Predator/Do Androids….
