'''Seymour Asses''', or Seymour for short, was [[Philip J. Fry|Fry's]] dog before he was frozen. Fry adopted him 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 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 then on, acting as resident dog and food taster. On the fateful night of 31 December, 1999, when Fry was frozen, Seymour didn't want to let him go on the delivery, but 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 mother there, but they failed to realize Fry was there and dragged Seymour out again. For the rest of his life, Seymour sat outside Panucci's Pizza waiting for the return of his master, as the world around him changed and, eventually, he died in front of the abandoned pizza shop. Some time later, his body was fast-fossilized, making it possible to clone him. The outer rind was 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 Seymour had been ready to spend eternity [[Media:Seymour.gif|waiting for his return]].

It is also revealed, happily, that while Seymour did live outside Panucci's Pizza for 12 years, he was actually attended to by a time paradox duplicate of Fry (aka [[Lars Fillmore]]) who lived in its upstairs storage room, and therefore, was never actually alone.

Seymour Asses, or Seymour for short, was Fry's dog before he was frozen. Fry adopted him 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 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 then on, acting as resident dog and food taster. On the fateful night of 31 December, 1999, when Fry was frozen, Seymour didn't want to let him go on the delivery, but 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 mother there, but they failed to realize Fry was there and dragged Seymour out again. For the rest of his life, Seymour sat outside Panucci's Pizza waiting for the return of his master, as the world around him changed and, eventually, he died in front of the abandoned pizza shop. Some time later, his body was fast-fossilized, making it possible to clone him. The outer rind was 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 Seymour had been ready to spend eternity waiting for his return.

In Bender's Big Score, it is revealed that Bender destroyed Panucci's Pizza, and the fire fast-fossilized Seymour into his present state. It is also revealed that while Seymour still lived to the ripe old age of 15 years outside Panucci's, he was actually attended to by a time paradox duplicate of Fry (aka Lars Fillmore) who lived in its upstairs storage room, and therefore was never actually alone.
