There is a very very brief reference to a 'sleeping' dog that 'didn't move' (implied dead, but not explicitly stated) roughly 65% into the story.

The two most memorable cases: Hassan gets raped by another boy. And there are enormous amounts of mentions about what Assef and his men did to Sohrab.

Amir and Hassan get lied to about something extremely important throughout most of the story. Hassan never finds out the truth, Amir does.
