How bad is the puppy killing scene in John Wick? (Update: I seent it)

Watch it. You'll be fine.

when the dog dies you don't have much context.. so , no real ties to the dog..

As the movie progresses you begin to realize how much the dog meant...

You can handle it.

Its not bad, no blood and guts or anything like that. Don't let it stop you from seeing this movie, its awesome.

The fact that I can't remember is probably a good sign...I wasn't traumatized

Probably a good sign then

Watch Alien 3 instead.

If I remember correctly they basically show it off screen.

It's off screen for the most part. They do show the puppy crawling up to wick when he's unconscious though.

Neither did you.

So how bad is the scene? Just a quick death or is it drawn out and stuff?

It's shown off screen but you can hear it. When John regains consciousness he gathers up the dog's body and holds her for a while then buries her.

For me, I found it pretty heartbreaking and makes all the violence afterwards justifiable. Maybe a little hyperbolic, but I own 3 beagles.

Fwiw-don't think for a second that the breed of dog they chose to play Daisy was just a random decision.

It is not as near as bad as it sounds honestly. Slow knife in Saving Private Ryan is much, much worse.
