Okay, it's funny, but well, we have a literal dog punching it's master, but it looks like they're both fighting, and there's no hint that the dog was abused prior. So this image really isn't helping the article.

BTW, I meant to tag this is Does Not Illustrate.

I suggest a double pic of the photos prior in the same episode (ie. Homer strangling the dog, and then the dog biting him in retaliation) making it a very literal example.

I dunno... This is a villain-only AND a Death Trope, so I'm not sure how literal we should go here, lest it be mistaken for "a mistreated person of any kind strikes back against their tormentor."

On the page? It says it's a death trope, and by taking out those elements it's just Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. If nothing else, it works as a visual pun.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested for Spark's reasons but only weakly so.

I think the pic encourages misuse of this trope for Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal. If we're going to go visual pun, at least find a pic of the dog biting.
