The Way of the Dog was an amazing episode. I guess this episode counts as a Christmas episode. Well then, I have watched 18 other Christmas Episodes, and there was 3 bad, 3 okay, 3 good, and 10 really good. This episode falls in the really good category. This episode isn't full of humor, but it has enough humor to entertain. One thing that this episode amazingly succeeds at is heart. This episode has lots and lots of heart, and that is why I love it. The episode also references back to Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire. Santa's Little Helper episodes are always really good ( expect for Old Yeller Belly ). This is such a great episode. I would say it's as good as the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. In all, I give this a 8.2 out of 10.
