The dog itself doesn't appear in the movie. We only see a woman in the background, grieving for her late pet and holding its picture and toys.

A boy is forced to bludgeon a dead or wounded bird with a hammer. The action itself is offscreen, but before and after the incident are shown on camera and the sound of the hammer can be heard.
