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.

This is set pre-9/11. However, the destruction of the city begins with a skyscraper exploding and the fireball and destruction spreading through the city. Some may find this too close to 9/11 imagery for comfort.

As the other commenter said, it's pro-government. It also seems very pro-military (sort of copaganda) and very pro-USA in general (American supremacism), if anyone needs to know that too.

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.
