A more family oriented storyline here. Hooperman's dog is going to be destroyed for biting the mailman unless Hooperman can prove the dog is a drug sniffer.
This sounds silly on paper but Ritter makes it work. The dog is absolutely priceless. Hooperman tries to make the dog into a drug sniffer otherwise the dog will be put to sleep. How the hell that should happen is ridiculous as it's a harmless small puppy.
This episode unlike the first episode featured a more fantasy sitcom oriented storyline.
The ending for this is completely funny and hard to believe.
It's only the second episode here, so the stories would get more serious after this. However, this was a chance again to show Ritter's talent here and that's always a treat.moreless
