(Cover made by the amazing @alltimetrashcan) Tyler: your typical shy new kid Josh: the unpopular nice guy When the two meet, they become best friends. All is happy and well-with a few bumps along the way, of course- and everything goes as a happy Joshler you'd expect. Until you forget to expect the unexpected. Read more to find out what happens ;) •Sorry this description sucks, the book is better•

The two of them have been the best of friends since the second grade. When Josh came to Tyler's school then, everyone made fun of him, but Tyler was the only nice one. He even shared his animal crackers, which of course in the second grade is a big deal. Ever since then, the two of them had been inseparable, but will things change between them once Josh finally decides to tell Tyler how he feels about him? Will they still be friends?

After having a fallout with his so called "friends", Josh starts hiding away in his bedroom. His parents, of course, are concerned, but in not wishing to invade his private life, they get him a dog. Tyler ends up helping Josh over come the plague of loneliness and slight depression, and even helps him find a new friend along the way. Yes, Tyler is a dog. No, this is not a Joshler fic. This is nothing other than an alternative universe story wherein a boy much like Josh Dun owns a dog named Tyler.
