The Diet That Failed: the 404 Diet

A long time ago, there was a very fat dog. He weighed 1000 kg and had a big belly. He was the fattest dog in the whole universe. One day all of his family made him go on a diet. They put him on a 404 diet because 404 means ‘not found,’ and he wasn’t found to be fit anymore. Every day, he had to eat less and less food until he got down to zero. The people of the town were very excited because they thought that now the fattest dog would be fit again. But when he got down to zero, he started to shrink until every gram of his body was gone. He became invisible, but everyone could see him. When his family saw it, they wanted something different. They put him on a 404 diet again because not found means ‘not lost.’ They thought that if he was not lost, then he would be found. The end.
