What it is

Fry, who was frozen for a thousand years, finds his old dog Seymour fossilized in a museum and fights to get him back so the Professor can clone him. When Fry learns Seymour lived another twelve years after he disappeared, he assumes the dog moved on and lets him go, but the final scene shows what really happened.
