Synopsis

A story about Robert Grainier, a day laborer employed as a logger helping to expand the railways across America. Forced to spend prolonged periods of time away from his wife, Gladys, and their young daughter, Grainier struggles to make sense of his place in a rapidly changing world. As his story unfolds, he experiences great love, unspeakable loss and unique bonds, on a journey that is both distinct and universal.

SPOILER! Does the dog die onscreen? No. But it is presumed dead by the end of the film when the main character, as an elderly man, reflects back on his life and a portion of that includes his moments with his dog. It’s profoundly beautiful and equally heartbreaking. It’s an incredible film.

But the main character is away from his child for long stretches of time because of the nature of his work.

*SPOILER*
Main character’s family is presumed dead after a fire burns their home down while the character is away. No goodbye, and no closure confirmation/on their deaths either.

Two deer are killed. Both happen off-screen, but you can see the antlers in the second one.

Horses potentially die in the middle, but if they do, it is off-screen and unspoken.

There is a dead bear featured at a logging site later in the film.

To add to the other comment, it’s around 1 hour 12 minutes 50 seconds on Netflix. It is audio and visual. Look away and mute for 20 seconds (all good by 1 hour 13 minutes and 10 seconds)
