What about when life imitates life? A man hears dogs constantly barking. He just knows it is real and not just in his head.
The rational solution is to shoot the dog and not the owner. Well, it's slightly more rational that shooting the owner.
So in Son of Sam, Part Duex, a banker hears a dog saying, "Shoot the Gorgi! Shoot the Gorgi!" Gets his gun. Then, in front of neighbors, shoots the dog's rival, a Gorgi, to death.
So the barking in his head goes on for two more hours. A thank you song.
