The Ending Of Dog Gone Explained

After giving up their search for Gonker and pretty much resigning themselves to the fact that their beloved dog is likely gone, the Marshalls get a phone call about someone possibly spotting Gonker. Apparently, this person saw a dog that looks a lot like Gonker rummaging through their trash. However, upon arriving at the location, the Marshalls discover Gonker seems to be gone and all hope seems lost. It's not too long, though, until Gonker reappears and gleefully runs towards Fielding, creating a harmonious reunion. 

Gonker's return home is incredibly blissful, as he makes this family truly feel whole again. However, the good times are short-lived as Fielding's condition has become so bad that he collapses getting out of the car and is rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, the situation isn't fatal and he's able to finally get some rest in the hospital with his best friend right beside him. Although "Dog Gone" tries to give its audience a heart attack in the final few moments, it ends things on a pleasant note that'll instantly warm any viewer's heart.
