Plot

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.
