An amusing story about a stray dog who is surgically transported into the body of a criminal and later becomes the director of the animal control department that is responsible for ridding the city of cats. His animal tendencies and criminal antics cause such an uproar in the city that its residents fail to see the miraculous outcome of the doctor's experiment because they are too caught up in his specimen's ignoble actions. Bulgakov was a very serious man with a genuine talent for making a mockery of social convention.
