Naw, Buckey, look at how much fun that dog is having busting through the window and taking out the bad guy, tail wagging the entire time. We love our dogs, but Bo is serving his purpose and enjoying every minute of it.

I admit. I am probably a typical American and tear up more in movies where the dog gets it vs. the human victim (I think the last time I cried was in I am Legend, when Will Smith put down his zombie dog- on Christmas day, no less!).

But good boys like Bo will put themselves in harms way and protect their human, who at the end of the day will go home to their families. And that's why I love dogs. Cats.... meh
