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. However a potentially saccharine story doesn’t evolve, as the daughter is blase about this latest present, mom is too busy with her own life and loves, and dad is left to make a visit to a company who offers specialist services to those who want to do other things to genmod animals*….

(* 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….
