the frank and fritzy show

EPISODE 33

Fritzy's gift of a pooch to the family of Genovese associate Angelo D'Acunto sparks a discussion of women and dogs. They both bring beauty and joy into the world. And if they're mad, a little bit of lovin' always manages to tame them. But since any self-respecting wiseguy would never throw Spot down a flight of stairs, the canine likely takes precedent over the feline. (2:58)
