Seymour Asses

Seymour Asses, or Seymour for short, was adopted by Fry in August 1997 when he was barely more than a puppy. Fry had been called to a prank address (Seymour Asses, or See more asses) and was devouring the now useless pizza, when a skinny young dog begged for a piece of it. Fry was eager to share his meal, and the dog adopted him as master and started to follow him around. He acquired the name of the prank address and lived at Panucci's Pizza from now on, acting as resident dog and food taster. In the fateful night of December 31 1999 when Fry was frozen, Seymour didn't want to let him go, and Fry told him to wait at Panucci's until he was back. Seymour started to look for Fry the following morning and found him at Applied Cryogenics, he even managed to lead Fry's father and his brother there, but they failed to realize Fry was there and dragged Seymour out again, facing stiff resistance. For the rest of his life, Seymour would sit outside Panucci's Pizza and wait for the return of his master, until the world around him was all changed and he died in front of the now abandoned pizza shop. Some time after, his body was fast-fossilized, making it possible to clone him. The outer rind is made of dolomite, a heat-resistant mineral that allowed him to survive a lava bath. When Fry learned that Seymour had lived out his life without him, he had the cloning process stopped, as he believed Seymour had forgotten him, never realizing that he had been ready to spend eternity [[Media:Seymour.gif|waiting for his return]].

In a Flashback in Bender's Big Score, it proves that Bender destroyed Pannuci's Pizza, the fire turning Seymour into dolomite. It is also revealed that while Seymour did live outside Panucci's Pizza for 12 years, he was actually attended to by a time paradox duplicate of Fry who lived in its upstairs storage room, and therefore, was never actually alone.

Trivia

 * Seymour so far only had one major appearance in Jurassic Bark, and was seen again as a cameo in his fossilized state at Fry's funeral in The Sting, and minor appearances in Bender's Big Score. The fossil was also the focus of Homeward Boned.
