Was the dog scene necessary? (Spoiler)


We got the hint seeing the blood on her leg. I felt it overkill to show us the dog. Yes I'm a dog person and yes I had no problem seeing the biscuit lady bleeding out. I realize that makes me sound a bit hypocritical but violence towards dogs gets me more than violence towards humans

I'm a dog lover as well (I even stopped being a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles when they signed Michael Vick) but that scene didn't bother me at all, probably because of the absurdness of it all. And obviously because it wasn't actual violence against a dog.

It was not only not necessary, it was DISGUSTING! I don't care if it was a dog, a human, or any other animal, it was DISGUSTINGLY CRUEL!

yes retard he had to walk past the dog to use the sink, it was quite obvious

It wasn't really a dog, it was his brother Bob. And since you don't care about humans...

Ah the classical animal lover complaint. There wasn't any torture scene.
I recommend you people grow up, and focus your efforts on Asia. You do know they torture-kill millions of dogs and cats in China every year? By torture i mean cruel torture, because it's cheaper in that way allegedly. LiveLeak.com and other sites are full of these hidden videos.

This movie is black and absurd comedy. It's supposed to show weird and uncomfortable situations.

It wasnt a dog, it was his brother.
