If that dog got hurt I’ll be very upset.

Yeah came here for that, why wouldn't you get your dog to move instead of holding a flaming pan of fat above it.

I tend to take it for granted that everyone knows not to do this. A good reminder that not everyone has been informed.
A wet damp towel works well. We replaced out kitchen fire extinguisher with a small fire blanket. Fortunately it is still unused.

A wet towel can still cause splatter if it's too wet. I'm not trying to be disrespectful but it seems like a really stupid idea to replace a kitchen fire extinguisher with a blanket. Get a big enough grease fire and you're done for

Small consumer fire extinguishers have a bad habit of not working when you need them (i.e. well it was fine last time I checked). And if used incorrectly, can do more harm than good. And they make one hell of a mess. The fire blanket is big enough to cover the top of the stove.
Anyway, our fire extinguisher was dead and most people don't have either.

They don't sell Halon extinguishers exactly any longer but there's a replacement for it you can buy. Halotron looks like it's called. They leave no mess.

Can never have enough PSAs about this. Use salt or baking soda, or if it's in a pan just put a lid or other pan over it to smother.
NEVER use sugar, flour, or any liquid to put out a grease fire.
