"The Way of the Dog" is the twenty-second episode and finale of Season 31, which replaced "Podcast News" as the season finale.

It was originally not supposed to be the final episode of that season, but the COVID-19 pandemic halted production for future episodes. These episodes would later become holdovers from Season 32.

Synopsis

After the Simpsons' dog bites Marge, the family explores the tragic past of Santa's Little Helper.
