Animal Abuse = Hilarious?
Look, I like this movie and all, but the part where the dog gets killed is too much. The dog wasn't the sweetest, but it didn't deserve to die like that. And I hate how they make it seem like the cop is a wimp because he gets emotional over it. They treated it with too much humor (like they did with the cat in CV). I don't get it - animals getting killed doesn't make me bust out laughing. Not even a chuckle. In fact, it kind of ruins the rest of their road trip for me. Clark is such an a$$hole!
At the very least, they should have given us a clue that the dog got out of the leash and survived. Or they should never had it as part of the story.
