Animal Control Season 4 Episode 4: “Lost Dogs and Bar Flies” Preview
Animal Control Season 4 Episode 4: “Lost Dogs and Bar Flies” – Roman Park (Ken Jeong) takes Frank’s newly rescued and beloved dog away from him. In an effort to get his dog back, Frank and Shred find themselves on a late-night rescue mission. Meanwhile, Patel’s house sale spirals. Kayla Deorksen guest-stars.
FOX’s Animal Control returns for another pawsome season, where the workplace is anything but ordinary. Created by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg, and Dan Sterling, with Tad Quill serving as showrunner, the series follows a group of local Animal Control workers whose lives are complicated by the fact that animals are simple, but humans are not. Joel McHale stars as Frank Shaw, an opinionated, eccentric Animal Control officer who may not have gone to college but is still the most well-read person in the room. A former cop, Frank tried to expose corruption in his department, but his efforts got him fired, which may explain why he’s so cynical and curmudgeonly. He has an almost superhuman ability to understand animals. Humans…not so much.

In addition to McHale, FOX’s Animal Control stars Michael Rowland as Fred “Shred” Taylor, Vella Lovell as Emily Price, Ravi Patel as Amit Patel, Grace Palmer as Victoria Sands, Gerry Dee as Templeton Dudge, and Kyla Pratt as Daisy. Season Four guest stars include Rob Gronkowski as himself and the return of Ken Jeong as expert (and unhinged) dog trainer Roman Park.
