A'''''Lady: My Life as a Bitch''''' is 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 Withwith Suck]], with the ability to [[Baleful Polymorph|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.
Line 14 ⟶ 31:
The novel sparked a bit of controversy when released due to its content. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on your opinion of it, but needless to say it can get a bit crude at times (dog sex anyone?), and is more suited for a mature audience.
