I'm not a biologist myself, so this explanation might be full of errors, but the gist of it is:

A dog got cancer. Cancer tissue is a part of your body with the same genetic information, just growing uncontrollably, right? Well, one of the cancer cells got separated and somehow learnt to survive on its own, reproducing asexually and started a lineage of a new single-cell organism that still exists to this day.

This single-cell organism has the same DNA as the dog. Genetically speaking it is a dog.

B, with hopes of upgrading to H

Edit: Yup, I'm on H now.

Edit 2: I actually made it to A. Who would have thought?

Triple Trouble by Beastie Boys started playing in my head as I was reading this and it was better than then meme.

Haven't heard To the 5 Boroughs in a long while. I should fix that.

I'll settle for some unlikely and interesting bits out of context, such as the existence of single-cell dogs.

Obviously a typo. Should have been "Blind stranger"

You can also speed this process up if you want to!

Probably because you're friends with this embarassing excuse for a person.

I highly recommend reading the book. It's a great read, more gritty, goes into more detail in many ways, has more focus on corporations being a plague on modern world (very much cyberpunk-adjacent themes), and the best thing is that some (but not all) characters that survived the movie die in the book and vice versa, so it's still very suspenseful even if you've seen the movie a million times.

The second one is a good read too.
