Jack actually found this web site, but I stole the story from him. It’s the Internet Movie Database for whether or not a dog is killed in a movie, and it’s called:
Does the Dog Die?
Finally, for all you sensitive animal people out there, there is a database of film that you can find out if any dogs bite the big one on screen. This way you can decided how many boxes of tissues you need to have by your side while watching the movie.
Here is a handy checklist in case you are not sure if you are a sensitive dog person:
1) You would rather see a human offed on screen than a dog2) You cried the entire length of Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey.3) You get upset that kitty litter commercials are so negative towards what is natural and expected in all types of living things that eat and poop. (and sometimes eat their poop)4) Hearing the name; Sarah McLachlan brings a single tear to your eye.5) Your house pet has a better bed then you do.6) You make baby cooing noises at your animals and you have proper names AND nicknames for them.How it works is simple. You plug in the name of the movie you are about to watch and it brings back the answer based on this chart:

It’s that simple.
We did some research and compiled a list of movies that dog lovers should definitely avoid:
1) Old Yeller2) Turner & Hooch3) I Am Legend4) Marley and Me 5) American Psycho6) My Dog Skip7) The Road Warrior8) Eight Below9) All Dogs Go To Heaven10) CujoSo, now to be fair (and not to lose subscribers), here is a list of great dog movies:
1) The Adventures of Milo and Otis2) Lassie3) Lady and The Tramp4) Best In Show5) Beethoven6) Air Bud7) Bolt8) The Shaggy Dog9) The Dog Who Saved Christmas10) 101 DalmationsThese are not all necessarily great cinematic masterpieces, just no dogs die in the films.
Is it insensitive of us to suggest to the Does the Dog Die? people that the icon for a dead dog should have little Xs over the eyes?
Yes?
