Santa's Little Helper occupies a special place in The Simpsons, and avid fans will remember that he was introduced in the very first episode of The Simpsons. Several episodes have since been devoted to one of the favorite animated dogs, and The Canine Mutiny is one.
You could really feel Bart's loss when he rashly gives away Santa's Little Helper, but thankfully they reunite at the end thankfully.
The ending was a bit too edgy and kind of out of sorts even with the edginess of The Simpsons. It's as though the writers were wanting to inject a bit of "Bad Lieutenant" into an episode for that extra edge.
