Much ado was made about the dog enemies in The Last of Us Pt.2 and how it was possible to complete a play through without killing them. So have you killed a dog? Is anyone doing a no doggo violence run?

Personally, I kill them. Ellie's death animations when she is mauled are super violent and unsettling to me and I'd rather get the dogs off the board early on to prevent it.

Yeah because otherwise they're gonna kill me

Also at one point you have no choice but to kill a dog in a QTE

repost from the main thread I guess:

by the way, as a dog owner and lover all my life, here's some real talk for you:

I actually have no problem with all the dog killing you do, even the nasty melee kills, but earlier I arrow sniped a dude that was walking with a dog, the dog actually reacted to it and checked on his owner and did a little whine, and THAT got to me :(

:(

The first one I killed with fire and it was disturbing. Then I killed one with a machete and a little bit of sick came out.

Unfortunately, I killed dogs on my first run (god was I terrible at stealth), but I'm through Hillcrest on New Game Plus and I haven't killed a dog yet. I'm doing everything in my power to avoid it.

Before the game came out, my thinking was "I'll kill dogs if necessary, but Jesus I'm not going to Molotov them"

Once I played the game and was soaked to the core in its intensity I realized I would Molotov every goddamn dog that was in range of another enemy

Well played, Druckmann

Yes, several. They love screwing up my stealth approach at the most inopportune times, so I've made it a habit to dispose of them if they're nearby.

If I need to. I've taken more damage than I would have otherwise because I avoid trying to melee them in favor of a quick shot so they don't suffer.

Fuck them dogs, making my non-lethal human runs that more difficult.

I shoot them with my bow and arrows.

I didn't kill them. I slaughtered them. They can play fetch with Satan in hell, the pieces of shit.

I always find it amusing when people have issues killing digital animals in games, but then proceeds to have no issue blowing a digital humans brain out of their skull.

Yes. As soon as I saw one. They are here to kill you. So I took them out first. Then the rest.

I really tried not to, like I stealthily killed the owner hoping it won't be looking for me anymore since there's no one anymore to make it do so. But that didn't work, so I kill everyone since they're fucking annoying.
