Hah!! You know, I like happy endings, too. And I'm a great believer in happy endings. I figure in every situation there's at least a fifty percent chance that things will turn out O.K.
I read a book like that a while ago! The MC was getting away from the bad guy and his dog went and tried to save his master--the MC. The bad guy catches the dog and tells the MC to come back or he would kill his dog. The MC had just rescued his best friend from the guy and he knows that if he goes back, the bad guy will catch them again. So he keeps running, and the bad guy kills the dog. I cried. I couldn't help it! Sniffle.
I'm much more likely to cry while reading fiction than in real life.

Really? Hmmm, it must be me that's weird then. I have never cried from reading that I can recall, but I've balled up a storm watching a movie or tv show.
I cry at the idea that some jackass even thought of it, and then had the nerve to write it down.You cried upon reading of the death of a fictional dog? Really?
Have you noticed that every single dog-themed novel or bio ever written ends with the death of the main-character dog? I stopped reading dog books when I was 12 for that very reason.
I cry if a dog (or any animal, pretty much) dies in a book, a movie, on TV. If I'm reading a book or watching a movie that has an animal in it (especially a dog or cat), I will put the book down or turn off the movie if it looks like there is any danger to the animal. I have to ask someone else who's read the book or seen the movie, if 'anything happens' to the animal. If it does, I don't want to know what. If it doesn't, then I'll watch/read it.
Call me crazy or a fool, but that's just the way I am.
