Heyyyy!He killed that little dog! (Spoilers ahoy.) I hate to spoil anything about this poignant movie, but did the director Clement sacrifice Jock, the little dog, to make this? Before her parents are killed, you see Jock healthy in the arms of Paulette.When her parents are killed by the plane, supposedly Jock is hit too, even though he is underneath Paulette, who is unhurt.You see the legs of little pooch twitching in the unmistakeable way of a creature near death.Then, of course, Jock is stiff.Except for the middle scene, I could think stiff Jock (who has several more scenes) is just a manufactured stand in.But you just can't teach an animal to twitch like that. If someone who knows more about the making of this film can tell me Clement didn't have the dog playing Jock poisoned and handed back to Brigette Fossey, I'd feel better about this film.
