Why is there such a disagreement? Can someone explain? If there’s a dog then what happens to it?

Carlo hits Connie off-screen; later, he uses a belt on-screen.
(Both times, the abuser is rightfully portrayed as being the 'Bad Guy' in the situation)

Yes, a real horse was killed but supposedly it was not killed for the movie.
“We didn’t kill the horse,” Coppola said. “Most horses are killed for dog food. So we went to the dog food company, and we looked at the horses before they were slaughtered. I didn’t do it, but the art director found one that looked like the real horse and I said when you kill that horse we want the head.” - https://www.cheatsheet.com

I say No a 'child' does not die but a fully grown young adult character is murdered and does die before his father, and there is a sequence that shows his family mourning him. So if death and grief bother you this definitely isn't your movie.

I don't remember any, but, judging by the many "yes"es, I assume there is. What I do know is that Marlon Brando was antisemitic IRL and spread the "Jews own Hollywood" myth, so I thought I'd add in case out-of-film bigotry is a trigger.

It depends on how you see a happy ending. The ending is rather gruesome, but for the Corleone Family, it could be seen as happy, as a lot of their enemies are taken out. However, it is not a happy ending for the main character's wife, and it leaves it rather ominously.
