What happened to the dog?


Marty's dog is seen with him a couple of times but then it disappears. Looks like the filmmakers passed over the possibility to add another layer of complication to the the story.

The dog in Blood Simple eloped with the dog from Apocalypse Now

The dog kinda creeped me out like that dog in The Thing (1982) that turns inside out.

Marty left him in his house. By the end of the movie, he had eaten the couch and shit all over everything.

In the script there's a scene where Meurice checks out Marty's house after Abby says she thinks he's dead, and there he encounters the dog, who is hungry and growling. The next scene shows Meurice holding a bloody broken pool cue, implying that he had to kill the dog in self defense.
