Does a pet die?
Browse movies, tv shows, books and more where a pet dies.
I'm glad that there are already categories for animals dying, as well as categories for animals commonly kept as pets dying (such as dogs, cats, and horses). However, I feel like the death of a pet should be its own category - some may find the death of an animal upsetting enough, but it can be even worse when the animal in question belonged to someone. Also, those who have lost a pet recently may want to avoid watching another pet die.

Multiple horses assumed to have died off screen, not technically pets. There are no other domestic animals in the movie. The only other animal is a pig who ends up on a roof, alive.

Kind of difficult to believe that the little donkey would actually choke on a finger, but it does and it’s gruelingly heartbreaking. Good storytelling, but damn. Next time I see an R-rated Irish film I’m doing more research. I actually would have left after Colm cuts his first finger off, but there were two ladies with mobility issues (who I already had to move so I could get seated) between me and freedom in a tight art house cinema. I’ll tell you tho, if Padraich had laid a pinky on that dog, I woulda climbed over them. Visually stunning, exquisite depiction of the suffocating isolation of island life, and like I said excellent if effed up storytelling. Not for sensitive animal lovers or for those with debilitating empathy.

At the very end of the movie Marley is put down due to health issues. Although it is very sad he dies peacefully in a vets office. Him and his owner have a moment of friendship and gratitude where you can really see his love.

Pet mouse is dead, turns out to have been dead a while. Reveal 4:29-4:50 (theme song beginning). Animal is practically mummified, no gore of any kind but very sad.

Considering the bonds between Na'vi and animal beings I'd say that the pet dies (but it's not a pet in the meaning of small animal kept in the house).

Last chance for spoiler ⚠️
======================
Wednesday is telling a story where she is 6 years old and has a pet scorpion. Some boys hold her back while others intentionally run the scorpion over with their bikes. You don't see the scorpion die, but hear the squishing sound. This greatly distresses young Wednesday and you see her cry and mourn the scorpion at a grave.
