Well, ''almost''.
The goddess overseeing Ryouta's case- being more accustomed to the requests of gamers and would-be heroes- decided to add in a few 'perks'. Like a gigantic wolf body. And immortality. And a mouth laser.
Now Routa must struggle to keep the pretense that he is a normal dog, and with it his luxurious life.
The series was published from 2017 to 2020, with a total of seven volumes. The light novels and the manga adaptation were localized by Creator/YenPress in February 2019.

!! This series includes the following tropes:
* AnimalTalk: Of the "all animals except humans can understand each other" type. Textually, the characters are just growling/meowing/squeaking at each other, sounds followed by brackets indicating their meaning.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Lenowyrm fights back against Zenobia and Routa because they have attacked her, stolen from her, and [[BringMyBrownPants peed on her floor]]. (She was initially willing to forgive the last two.)
* BetterThanSex: Howling at a full moon, apparently.
->''I guess this is what you’d call postcoital clarity.''
* BornOfMagic: Young Fen wolves...coalesce...out of a light/essence that descends from the moon. After the process is over, they have perfectly normal physical bodies.
* CanisMajor: Routa first gets the hint he’s not a normal dog when he looks in a mirror and realizes that he is ''much'' larger than his owner after only one month after his adoption. By the end of Volume 4, he can't fit through human doorways and is about three times the size of the biggest of the Fen wolves (who are also this trope).
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Fenwolf legend says that TheChosenOne will have a silver pelt.
* CommonTongue: Lenowyrm tries speaking the language of "your people" to a human intruder, which was apparently in use...a thousand years ago. Linguistic drift over that time has rendered it complete gibberish.
* CruelToBeKind: Caving in the family pet's skull may seem harsh, but Zenobia is correct when she says [[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/13/science/wolves-dogs-genetics.html 'domesticated' wolves are still dangerous]]. Routa is the [[NobleWolf fantasy]], sapient version of a wolf, but that doesn't necessarily make him seem less threatening.
%%* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife:
%%* EveryoneHasStandards:
* FantasticRacism: The Fen wolves want to genocide humanity- although, to be fair, less out of personal desire than their idea of GaiasVengeance. Once they get a taste of human-made sausages [[PunchClockVillain they back down pretty quickly]].
* FlockOfWolves: One reason Routa's charade goes unnoticed is the fact that just about ''every'' animal around has magic or capabilities impossible in RealLife. It is a fantasy world, after all.
%%* ForHappiness:
* FoodPorn: A vast amount of the narrative is spent describing the generous meals laid out for Routa and his attempts (legal [[MrViceGuy or not]]) to get more.
%%* FriendOrIdolDecision: The end of the first book. [[spoiler:Zenobia could reveal Routa's true nature to everyone, and have her paranoid [[note]]from the family's perspective[[/note]] rants validated. She could even tell herself she was doing it for a selfless reason. But it would mean betraying the one who saved her life.]] The choice she makes [[TheHero is obvious]].
%%* FirstPersonPeripheralNarrator: Routa stubbornly resists any sort of heroism or CharacterDevelopment, but his deception is what shows the reader Zenobia's character flaws...and makes him uniquely able to appreciate her overcoming them.
* HeroicLineage: Mary is descended from Routa, the human Hero (it's capitalized) who slew the Demon Lord a thousand years ago. Because of this, [[BarrierMaiden she is one of the seals that prevent the Demon Lord from returning]].
* IWasNamedMyName: Ryouta becomes Routa according to his new owners, which he lampshades as a "crazy coincidence". {{A|WizardDidIt}}phrodite's powers probably had something to do with this.
* {{Lunacy}}: Certain creatures, like vampires and Fen wolves, are much stronger on full moon nights.
%%* MarkOfStrangeness:
%%* TheMasquerade: Nobody knows Routa's true nature.
* MeaningfulName: The Fen wolves are both wolves of the forest (an archaic word for which is 'fen') and wolves of [[KingInTheMountain Fenrir]], an army he will lead to greatness upon his prophecied return.
%%* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody:
* MorphicResonance: When the blue-scaled dragon Lenowyrm shapeshifts into a mouse, her fur remains blue.
* NewLifeInAnotherWorldBonus: Parodied. The protagonist ''doesn't'' ask for anything magic (he just wants to be a lazy, well-fed housepet) but the goddess gives it to him anyway, because everyone before him asked for something cool and she doesn't want to be unfair. Given that his goal is to live a quiet life, being a giant monster is actually [[BlessedWithSuck pretty inconvenient]].
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Nahura is basically a zombie cat reanimated to serve as a witch's familiar.
%%* NoodleIncident:
* OldRetainer: Bal is a rare female example, always at Garo's side to support her and relay her orders to the pack.
* PetMonstrosity: For various reasons, most humans don't notice that Routa is clearly not an ordinary dog. Even if they did, they probably wouldn't want to break the news to his young owner...and she [[CutenessProximity probably wouldn't listen]].
* PressGanged: After Redarmor is defeated, Garo forces him to become a Fen wolf (Fen bear?). Her [[DrillSergeantNasty charismatic talents]] ensure he stays loyal to the pack even after his wounds heal.
* SamusIsAGirl: Not until she tells him does Routa realize that pack warleader Garo is a female, and the same goes for the skeletal horse (Night)mare. To be fair, the latter was made to be a warhorse, so she's significantly bigger than your average mare.
* SelectiveObliviousness: The Fen wolves remain blissfully unaware that their "chosen one" is a spoiled puppy who only cares about mooching off their hard work...though, the story being idealistic in tone, their loyalty is rewarded anyway.
* ShoutOut: Ryouta Okami is not ''[[VideoGame/{{Okami}} that]]'' Okami, although he does resemble her.
%%* SitcomArchNemesis:
%%* SugarBowl:
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Only Zenobia notices the obvious fact that Routa is a wolf, not a dog. [[OnlySaneMan Everyone else can't understand what she's talking about.]]
* VerbalTic: Routa does not like barking, but he tries to replace his natural growls with barks so he sounds more doglike.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The important thing about Routa's quest to obtain [[FindTheCure wyrmnil]] is that it's unnecessary. Mary will recover from the fever regardless- after a month of exhaustion and pain- and Routa knows this. He goes anyway.
