Every step he took was a laborious struggle, his movements hindered by the incessant itch and discomfort that plagued his every waking moment. The weight of his infestation bore down upon him like a heavy burden, leaving him gasping for breath beneath its suffocating grasp.

For even in the depths of his despair, the dog clung to the belief that somewhere out there, a kind-hearted soul would come to his aid, offering him the chance to escape the torment that held him captive.
