At the Movies, We Don't Want the Dog to Die


Last week, Fox revealed a minor spoiler in The Mountain Between Us: The film's dog character doesn't die. Why did the studio do that? Because Fox knew that some viewers would stay away if they weren't sure of the pooch's safety. This inspired an essay from me for MEL, in which I look into the different relationships we have with human and animals characters on screen. Hope you enjoy.
