One day, when he has a local guy come to pose for an art piece, the guy vandalizes Simon's house with another guy and they beat him so severely he is hospitalized. While he in recovering, Melvin is asked to take care of Verdell.
-At first, he does not like the dog, but soon he begins to like the little dog, and the dog even begins to act like him, stepping over cracks and such.

I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
