"In canis corpore transmuto" - In the 1959 Disney movie The Shaggy Dog, Tommy Kirk starred as a young man named Wilby Daniels who inadvertently transformed himself into a shaggy dog when he read the magical Borgia spell "In Canis Corpore Transmuto." Translated from the Latin the phrase said: "Into a dog's body I change." The movie was based on the story The Hound of Florence written by Felix Salten about a magic ring that changed a small boy into a dog. The phrase was also used in the sequel theatrical movie The Shaggy D.A. (1976) and the made-for-TV movie The Return of the Shaggy Dog (1989).
