Two scenes that stand out to me are in The Butterfly Effect when the dog is burned alive and in Halloween when Michael kills the dog. I did not have that feeling when Michael kid any of the humans.

De-sensitization and over exposure of people being killed in movies and on tv..we also like dogs better because they love unconditionally.

Molly and me, gosh that movie was sad. I remember watching it in school.

holee shite I was just thinking this earlier watching Marley and Me. I can watch any movie where a human gets killed and not have any issues but let me see a movie with a dog get killed and I have tears.
