Homebrew Former Dog Species Details
Once, a book was left open on the floor by a forgetful owner and a dog happened to read it. The dog became interested in the shapes and kept reading, eventually moving on to another book, and then another. It chased book after book, traveling far and wide. The dog had read so many books that not only did it learn language, it had begun to dabble in the arcane arts. One day, while trying to recreate a ritual described in one of the books, the dog fell victim to a surge of wild magic, transforming permanently into a humanoid form. It was then that the dog recognized that through its pursuit of knowledge, everything had become unfamiliar.

And after that, every human year equals approximately four or five years for a dog
