The outer rind was made of dolomite, a heat-resistant mineral that allowed him to survive a lava bath.
Some time later, his body was fast-fossilized, making it possible to clone him. For the rest of his life, Seymour sat outside Panucci's Pizza waiting for the return of his master, as the world around him changed and, eventually, he died in front of the abandoned pizza shop. He even managed to lead Fry's father and mother there, but they failed to realize Fry was there and dragged Seymour out again. Seymour started to look for Fry the following morning, and found him at Applied Cryogenics. On the fateful night of 31 December, 1999, when Fry was frozen, Seymour didn't want to let him go on the delivery, but Fry told him to wait at Panucci's until he was back. He acquired the name of the prank address and lived at Panucci's Pizza from then on, acting as resident dog and food taster. Fry was eager to share his meal, and the dog adopted him as master and started to follow him around. Fry had been called to a prank address (Seymour Asses, or 'See more asses') and was devouring the useless pizza, when a skinny young dog begged for a piece of it. Fry adopted him in August 1997 when he was barely more than a puppy. Seymour Asses, or Seymour for short, was Fry's dog before he was frozen.
