there is a point where it seems like the characters might have forgotten about the dog, but then they save the dog from the aliens as well.

Russel dies, and millions are displaced and dead, but sure, happy ending because Will Smith and his dog are fine, who cares about a kid with adrenal cortex disfunction not being able to afford medicine because his some economic provider kamikazied himself into an airplane in front of him.

Several cities and landmarks (including the White House) are blown to kingdom come by an alien death cannon -- something that was a massive selling point in the film's marketing. Later in the film, the US military retaliate with their own nuclear strike that ultimately fails. SPOILER: The climax ends with a nuclear bomb being detonated within an alien mothership.
