Does The Dog Die? is a vital tool for all dog-loving cinephiles

If you're like me and have an at best, illogically, and at worst, psychopathically, high tolerance for human death in cinema in comparison to that of dogs, then help is at hand.

The efficiently-named Does The Dog Die? site allows you to search for a film before you've watched it and screen it for the death of any nice pups.

Movies are categorised into three groups: 'No pets die', 'A pet is injured or appears dead but ultimately live' and 'A pet dies.' Most come with a description of what happens to said pet.

In a bid to create as extensive a filmic dog death database (FDDDb?) as possible, the movies are identified by other users - essentially the categorisation is crowdsourced.

This does, however, present complete anarchists with the opportunity of assuring people that the slobbery, affectionate French mastiff lives in Turner & Hooch (N.B. never watch this film).
