If Billy and Elle were were-dogs from the get-go, I would not have blinked an eye. But when they were born as dogs, and were introduced as dogs, and, in our world, can only exist as dogs... to me, they are DOGS.

While they have human intelligence when they're human, for the first half of this book, while he's a dog, Billy does tons of normal doggy stuff like licking Rage and eating from a bowl on the floor and it's just. so. weird.
