Chance, the dog owned by Dr. Iggy Frome on the show “New Amsterdam,” was rehomed after it was discovered that Iggy’s son, Chance, was allergic to him.
In the series, Dr. Iggy Frome, a psychiatrist at New Amsterdam Medical Center, adopted a dog named Chance to help with therapy sessions for his patients. However, it was later revealed that Iggy’s son, also named Chance, was allergic to the dog. This presented a difficult situation for the Frome family, as they had grown attached to the dog, but the well-being of their son was the priority.
After trying to manage the situation, Iggy realized that it would be best for the family and the dog to find Chance a new home where he could continue to provide therapeutic support without causing health issues for his son. The decision to rehome Chance was a poignant moment in the show, highlighting the complexities of balancing personal and professional life, as well as the sacrifices parents make for their children’s health and happiness. It also underscored the therapeutic value of pets and the difficult choices that sometimes have to be made in the best interest of all involved.
