* Big Dog simply going off into the woods when he realizes his time has come. It's sad to think that Joe might wake up and have no idea what happened to him, especially since it's well established that Joe loves him and is good to him.

* In the movie, "Buddy" is purchased by a neglectful owner (unwillingly neglectful, as it's implied that her potentially abusive boyfriend won't let her care for the dog). We get a SadTimesMontage of the poor dog sitting outside in the cold and snow, clearly sad and lonely. His bewilderment regarding why they never play or run is heartbreaking, as his confusion as to why an animal control officer who had come to the house isn't taking him with her. Then, after lying to the girl that he's selling him to a new owner, the jerk drives out to the middle of nowhere and abandons him. It's quite wrenching in the first place, even moreso knowing that this frequently happens in real life.
** Just before the jerk dumps Buddy in the middle of nowhere, the girl tearfully asks him to make sure he takes him someplace safe, with someone who will take good care of him. She may not have been in any position to care for a dog, but it's obvious she really, really loved him. And with him around, she probably really needed a friend.
** Adding to the montage above, the boyfriend mocks Buddy by jeering "I always told her you'd get this big. Look at what she thinks of you now." It's a really jerky thing to say, especially for people who own dogs like a bulldog or mastiff (which start out as cute puppies and are just as lovable when they're adults). Sadly, though, there are people out there who do buy a cute puppy but stop liking them once they're not as cute as they'd hoped.

* Toby's death. Due to the shelter being overcrowded, they're only able to keep dogs who are sure to get adopted. Toby's leg disability means he will probably be overlooked and so he is euthanized. What makes it even more sad is the fact that Toby didn't know what was happening or why it was happening.

** Before finally making a connection with a boy from her college, Maya, Tino's owner, has no friends apart from her dog. She spends all her time either in class, studying, or alone in her apartment with Tino. It's never outright stated, but Maya seems to be depressed--Tino even states "She was like Carlo" (his previous owner who was clearly very sad about something). [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Thank goodness she eventually finds someone and leads a long, happy life with Tino.]]
