![]() They are dedicated students, and Shou is a good teacher, even if a little obsessed with replicating his success with the first chimera. The Elrics go to Shou Tucker with the hope of learning some of his craft to restore Al's body, or at least Ed's arm and leg. Since then, he's been living with his only daughter Nina and their dog Alexander, both extremely lovable and a dynamic duo of joy. That's when he started getting funding from the State to continue his studies, and also when his wife left the family. Once, a long time ago, Shou was able to transmutate two beings together to create a chimera capable of human speech. The result of this process is known as a chimera. Shou Tucker is known as the Sewing-Life Alchemist, as his field of study is transmutation involving living beings - but not humans, as that's illegal. Not true, Fry! He waited for you! The only comparable tale of devotion that I can think of is Rory, the Boy Who Waited from Doctor Who, and he may have waited longer, but at least it wasn’t all for nothing! Dammit, Seymour! You’re a fictional cartoon dog on a show that is mostly a comedy! Why’d you have to go and break my heart? Yes, I realize that Seymour’s fate was altered in later episodes, but that doesn’t lessen the initial impact.At first glance, they are a very happy family. He assumes that Seymour forgot about him and found a new owner.

The montage of Seymour waiting and waiting while that Connie Francis “I Will Wait For You” song plays literally brings me to tears every single time. When Fry was frozen, Seymour waited outside the pizza place for him for twelve years. The saddest thing I’ve ever seen on television is the fate of Seymour, Fry’s dog. You broke me, lady.ġ.) Seymour, Fry’s Freaking Dog – Futurama Call me crazy, but the poor kid couldn’t have had all that much innocence left at that point anyway! Did she have to kill his owl too? I remember re-reading it, just to make sure it had really happened, and crying all the tears I hadn’t managed to already bawl out over Sirius Black. Rowling, Hedwig was a symbol of Harry’s innocence. Hagrid purchased the snowy white owl for Harry’s eleventh birthday after taking Harry away from his cupboard-under-the-stairs existence, and she stayed with her boy until the last book, when she sacrificed her life to save Harry. What did Hedwig ever do besides hoot softly, carry mail, wait patiently to be let free from her cage, and stay by Harry’s side when he needed her most? Besides being a sweet, devoted pet, Hedwig was also symbolic of Harry’s own deliverance from his life with the Dursleys. :-)Ħ.) Hedwig, The Owl Who Loved Her Boy Who Lived – Harry Potter Here in descending order is a list of the top six flashback-inducing animals that messed me up the most. Honorable mention goes out to the Staples of Sadness from our childhoods such as: Old Yeller, Bambi’s mom, Old Dan and Little Ann from Where the Red Fern Grows, Mufasa from The Lion King, and Littlefoot’s mom from The Land Before Time. ![]() ![]() What is it with heartbreaking animals in movies, books, and TV?
