** Francis never directly tells John Wick anything about the security detail inside the Red Circle when he's held at gunpoint, but he does put particular emphasis when he says he's lost "over twenty ''KILO''grams", implying that he's tipping John off on how many guards are inside.

** Daisy did her job as a dog (even though she was just a puppy, and a beagle at that - not exactly the most imposing of guard dogs) by barking, scrambling off the bed, and trying to alert John to the presence of intruders. This unwittingly puts him right in their path.

By proxy, also his wife in that cancer is not something he can shoot and kill and helplessness is not something he's all that familiar with. In killing Daisy, Iosef replaced the dog as something John could handle and direct his attention towards in order to express his grief. Too bad Iosef isn't nearly as adorable as Daisy was.
