Does the dog (or any other pet) die in this film? If that worries you, there's a new resource...

Thank you! I wish there was an equivalent to this for books. I've quoted this a few times in book reviews when I get fed up with animals, usually dogs (and usually Rottweilers) getting bumped off unnecessarily. But I now get my revenge by simply not bothering to finish the book if there's unnecessary violence to pets for a cheap emotional punch. And I tell authors and publicists why when they come whining for reviews!

This is a great site!

I should do a similar site for filk songs in which cats die.

[lil_shepherd]

Do cats die in a lot of filk songs over there? Of course, there's "Nobdoy's Moggie Now" (though that isn't filk) and Kanef's filk of it... but nothing else immediately springs to mind. Mind you, I am rather out of touch, even with British filk.

Not really a lot; it's just a personal annoyance of mine. Dead cat songs include "Wing Lu's Kitchen," "Feline Gravy," and some others. The trend has mostly died away in new songs.

Thank you! I am not Fred nor do I know him, but this comes in very handy for my household as well.

Also thanks to Fred for getting you to post this and whoever came up with the site.

Gratzi.

It will be much appreciated by my other half who likes films and dogs. Thank you.
