  • Bob has a dog. You see the dog greet him exuberantly when he comes home, he introduces the dog to Alice when she visits, the dog enters into a couple of episode plots. Then the dog gradually fades from view. Entire episodes take place in Bob's home with no sign of his dog. You begin to wonder if the dog has taken to hiding whenever other people are around. Have the writers forgotten that he has a dog? Then, unexpectedly, they mention the dog. Apparently he ran away a long time ago, or maybe was killed. The Fridge Horror sets in as you realize that Bob didn't even mention, much less mourn, the loss of his pet. Basically, this is when the disappearance of a pet from a show's plot is explained long after the fact by the pet's death or disappearance. To qualify, there must have been no comment at the time - the only explanation occurs much later, well after they should have shown a reaction. Contrast Brother Chuck, in which no explanation is given. Examples of What Happened to the Pet? include:
