Among other things, Homer has to give up beer, <a href="/wiki/Marge" class="mw-redirect" title="Marge">Marge</a> has to forgo her weekly lottery ticket, Bart has to have his hair cut for free at the Springfield Barber College, Lisa has to forgo the 4th edition of Encyclopedia Generica: Copernicus to Elephantiasis, and <a href="/wiki/Maggie" class="mw-redirect" title="Maggie">Maggie</a>'s clothes have to last a little longer. </p><p>Things begin to fall apart after it is found that Marge's regular numbers would have won $40,000, and the family begin to resent the dog for forcing them to lose out on the things they enjoy, as Homer is reduced to singing at <a href="/wiki/Moe%27s" class="mw-redirect" title="Moe's">Moe's</a> for petty money, Maggie's clothes rip, Bart suffers from an awful haircut, and Lisa coincidentally has a school report on Copernicus. </p><p>After Santa's Little Helper is saddened by the family's angry behaviour toward him, he runs away from home and goes off in an adventure, only to be adopted by <a href="/wiki/Mr._Burns" class="mw-redirect" title="Mr. Burns">Mr. Burns</a>, who trains him to become one of his vicious attack hounds. After a long brainwashing process, which includes having him watch a film reel consisting of nothing but people being abusive to dogs, and being trained to attack <a href="/wiki/Smithers" class="mw-redirect" title="Smithers">Smithers</a> wearing a protection suit, Santa's Little Helper in turn becomes a bloodthirsty killer. </p><p>In the meantime, the family, feeling remorse for their behaviour, decide to bring him back. While putting out posters, Bart passes Mr. Burn's mansion as well, only to discover Santa's Little Helper amongst the other vicious dogs. When the dog leaps forward to attack, he suddenly remembers all the good times they had, and snaps out of his brainwashed state. Briefly embracing each other in joy, Santa's Little Helper then turns to the other dogs, still bent on attacking Bart. As he growls, the other dogs cower back in fear, and run off. Bart and Santa's Little Helper then return home, greeted by their loving family. </p><p>The episode ends with a disclaimer: "No dogs were harmed in the filming of this episode. A cat got sick and somebody shot a duck, but that's it." </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="In_other_languages">In other languages</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dog_of_Death&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: In other languages">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table align="left" width="50%" style="background: #e9d677;
