I think we're so sad about animals cause we're so desensitized to people dying on tv. They can kill the mom and Im like "that makes sense" and then the camera pans to the dog and Im like "no....you fuckin monsters! Don't!"

No one cares that the dog died. The sad part was the reveal of what his life was like after Fry disappeared. You could set up the same twist for a human character and it would still be sad.

I'm kinda torn on the retcon

On one hand yeah its sweet and stops the heartache

On the other hand the point of stories is to make us feel emotion. Going "Actually now nothing bad happened so dont be sad" feels like a cop out

Imagine the Lion King if Mufasa never died it doesn't work

Yeah, I went off subject. But it wouldn't of worked with a human for me, cause it's not as believable. Id be like "Go do something else, stop being stuck in the past". But dogs are dumb and can't always comprehend what happened, so it's sad that he still thinks there's a chance he shows up. I dunno, I guess it being a cartoon kind of tweaks my sympathetic nature too. I was sad on the one where Leela kept dreaming about Fry.

You'll have to be a LOT more specific.

Both Pokemon and Futurama based their version off a real life dog in Japan from the 1930s named Hachiko who waited 10 years for their dead master to return.
