A dog appears near the end of the movie and is in a few scenes but does not die, at one point a lady does kind of push the dog back as it attempted jumping on her lap

The mother is in a compromising position near the start of the movie with Roy. It appears he's being forceful.
She also is assaulted by Dwight. On their first night together after the wedding they have consensual sex but he turns nasty during and pushes her head down into the bed and tells her she will only be slept with in 1 of 2 positions and doesn't make the rules as it's "his house".
