I still think that Ryan is the only one that can see Wilfred. I bet that Bruce was also a figment of Ryan’s imagination. I don’t recall anyone else acknowledging that Bruce was really there.

_Doubt_. Bruce (Dwight Yoakam) is a former “friend” of Wilfred, or claims to be.

Thanks. I must have missed that one - I wasn’t sure if you meant something in the final episode indicated that others could see Wilfred-as-human.

And Elijah Wood is fantastic when he’s being evil. The whole party and

blackmailing his sister to get clean urine scenes were hilarious.

Has anyone noticed the Bear is alive for Wilfred but we see Bear as a stuffed animal? I love the show because I think Ryan is nuts and trying to cope with whatever sin he committed as a lawyer.

What makes you think Bear is alive?

Wilfred has (besides sex) conversations with Bear as Ryan does with Wilfred.

Some dogs will hump anything…as for the “conversations”, I’m not sure that proves anything.
