Scruffy
Movie • 1980 • Animation
ReportScruffy is a puppy you'll definitely fall in love with. In the tradition of Bambi, Scruffy is an orphan, alone and frightened. Rather than the freedom of the forest, Scruffy must wander the streets of the big city before she makes friends. First there's Joe Tibbles, a street performer who adopts her. Then when Joe suddenly dies, she meets Butch, an unwanted stray with a heart of gold. Scruffy's tale will tug at your heartstrings as you experience with her the hardships of life as a stray.

At the 14 min. mark, the mother dog is shot by hunters or sheep herders. They really seem to enjoy it and go after the puppy, too.

They're dogs, so it's probably different - but Scruffy, who is just a puppy, proclaims her love for Butch, who is a lot older than her, and they end up having puppies together - albeit when Scruffy is old enough, but Butch will have still watched her grow up and all.

At the start, Duchess' owners tie her up and abandon her. Not maliciously, given they'd arranged for a friend to come and adopt Duchess, but not a very good way of going about it.

Technically not organised dog fighting, but at the 40 min. mark, two dogs fight in a junk yard.

This is an absolute horror film for people who can't stand to see dogs suffer. The pet dog is abandoned and pregnant. At the 14 min. mark, the mother dog is shot and killed by hunters or sheep herders. They really seem to enjoy it and go after the puppy, too.

Not specifically mentioned to be stillbirth, but Collie carries around a boot she pretends is her baby - Butch mentions that she had a puppy who died a long time ago.

It's not graphic, but Duchess' face contorts in pain as she starts to give birth, but then the scene cuts to her having given birth.

Well, it is between dogs, so maybe it doesn't count. But the puppy grows up to have her own pups with Butch, an older dog.

There is a brief fight scene in the movie between Butch and Cesar, where Butch is badly injured, and it shows blood.
