This otherwise 8-star episode is completely trashed by the propensity of writers who find it a comedic moment to use animal characters suffering as "a light, humorous twist."
There is nothing funny about Howard thoughtlessly rolling the just-found Lhasa apso's ball out the window while saying Fetch. I detest the use of contrived death of Hollywood animals as a most-often cheap, sentimental manipulation. It's beyond lazy writing, at best. At worst, it condones animal abuse.
A funny oops moment should not involve pain & death.
Throw a human animal out the window next time & see how funny others find it.
