But when they are turned down by the pound, they are given a trial period as dog owners with Michael (guest star Michael Rapaport), who ends up overstaying his welcome at the Chance's home. Meanwhile, Jimmy tries to prove to Sabrina that he's still a ladies man, even when he doesn't have Hope with him to attract women.
