Here's a synopsis for The Pet from the AFM website: "The story follow a young woman who, in an emotional and financial crisis, succumbs to the charm of an aristocratic benefactor. Their relationship develops from her desire to overcome the loss of his beloved setter, a loyal and devoted pet. She agrees for a considerable sum of money to become his human pet, to sleep in a cage and never wear clothes, and to be led on a leash for a period of six months. His desire to showcase his beautiful new pet and to have her market value appraised prompts him to expose her to the GSM (Global Slave Market). However, his arrogance and wealth together are no match for the power and ruthlessness of 21st century slave traders, and his loyal pet is soon violently taken from him."
