The Human Within--addendum
Addendum, on the puppy issue:
Wolves turned human generally follow wolf biology rules, whereas humans turned wolves seem to be more flexible overall--mainly because most stories today tend to favor humans turned wolf.
Rules regarding species apply to naturally occurring species. In my own storyline, werewolves are an artificial creation--an alien civilization creates them in an effort to figure out metaphysics. As such, reproducing a species is an afterthought, but my werewolves do follow the contageous virus idea, so it is reproducable by subsidizing off Homo sapiens. (In my storyline, some time around 2013, on short notice, a consortium of biologists are gathered together and unanimously agree that humans infected with lycanthropy are still members of the human species rather than a new one. Beings created from scratch using the same genetic framework also count as humans with contageous genetic modifications. This has important ramifications on the grounds of basic civil rights, since humans around that time still seperate themselves from other species in terms of rights concepts.)

I'm a timelord!
I just had several flashbacks from 2004! Does this mean I've gone back in time? Can I change the election results? Should I warn New Orleans? Or, should I just bet everything that the Pittsburgh Stealers win the 2006 Superbowl?
I know! I've gone back in time to find a pair of gray wolves, to repopulate the species, because in the 23rd century, an alien probe is trying to communicate with them and in so doing its amplified howls are disrupting all electrical activity and ionizing the atmosphere...
