Summary:
An alien spirit has 'borrowed' Daniel Jackson's body, promising to return it in two month's time. But Daniel discovers another spirit has hostile designs on Samantha Carter. In order to protect her, he has no choice but to inhabit the body of a dog. Guarding her from all threats, he hides his true identity, as well as his secret love for her.

But a dog's life is a dangerous thing, and the threats Daniel faces off-world pale in comparison to the peril he faces on Earth itself. In the end, saving Sam may prove easier than saving himself.
