There was a lonely dog who had a bad leg. One day, said leg got infected and out came out a teeny tiny little worm. Though the dog was in pain, the worm became his friend. His only friend in the whole wide world. They traveled together down many different back alleys and searched for yummy treats in every corner. They were so close that though they were unfit to be friends, the dog decided that it would suffer the pain of the worm's friendship even if it meant he would be dead within a year.
