People must be confusing this with a different movie because no dogs die in this movie. There are search dogs near the end of the movie, but none are shown harmed or dead.

It is implied that a cat is thrown down a well, but we don’t actually see it or hear it happen, nor do we see the aftermath. It occurs in a flashback around the 1:04:12 mark.

A rat is (what appears to be) strangled around the 14 minute mark. It is shown before, looking like a kid is innocently holding him. Then they show it again, and it’s limp, and then stiff. It looks real and fake at the same time, so best to look away until the 15:15 mark.

Also, it is implied that a cat is thrown down a well, but we don’t actually see it or hear it happen, nor do we see the aftermath. It occurs in a flashback around the 1:04:12 mark.

A rat is shown dead.

A cat is shown about to be thrown down a well, but you don't actually see it fall or die.

A blackened finger that was amputated is shown.

A young boy cuts off a dead boy's finger with garden shears. Not shown, but you see the boy with the shears and hear the sound if the cutting.

Yes. There is mention of twin boys' father dying and there is a quick flashback shown of his death from a fall down the stairs to an apple cellar.
