Why sci-fi hates dogs!
Man's best friend lives up to his namesake. so why do they die in almost every science fiction movie.Let us go through a small list.
1. Alien 3
As Ellen Ripley can't think things can get any worse, a superfacehugger attaches itself to a Rotweiler, then bursts out of it, to start a new reign of terror.
2. The Thing
If you watch this, make sure you didn't eat any waffles, you'll find it all over your shoes, later. In this film an alien arrives at an antartic science post to start havoc. The alien is in the form of a dog. The "dog" starts the horror by digesting three Huskies at ounce. Then it escapes to take on more terrifying shapes.
4. I Am Legend
In this scary post-apocalyptic thriller, the main character Robert Neville is the last human (so it would seem) in New York. His only companion can't even speak (irony, why must you be so cruel?). After a tussell with mutant dogs, Robert's only companion (it's a dog) has to be put down. (I'm a straight male and that scene got to me).
So if you own a dog of any kind give him a big HUG!
3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park
In this entertaining sequel, a dog's nieghboorhood is intruded by a tyrannosaurus rex. Yep, a dinosaur. Using it's only defense, (barking) it only annoys the creature. So, the t-rex returns the favor by swallowing it whole.

An interesting point, but what about the myriad scifi/disaster films that obeyed the cardinal "Don't Kill the Dog" rule? Independence Day, for example, features a gratuitous dog ALMOST dies scene, then rubs in your face that the dog survives throughout the rest of the story. Don't even get me started on the Lost dog, who just shows up every now and then to remind you he's not dead yet...
Why do they hate dogs?
This might very well be the stupidest topic I have ever seen. Seriously, have you ever been tested to determine your level of retardedness? I would run to the nearest testing center and make sure you have the $3 they require. Ye gads, man you're going to need some serious tending to. Try not to smear any more feces on the wall tonight.
Maybe it is just easier for them to have a canine body count than a human one?
Perhaps your list should have been on horror films hating dogs. I think that you would have found more examples.
Typically hollywood loves the dogs and cats are always the villians so I think it would be more appropriate to say Hollywood hates cats.
Hey, noonan! What's your deal! You need a hug or something? And insults sure do lose their sharpness when it's said behind a computer!
