20 Movie Reveals Nobody Noticed
13. Dog Days Were Numbered - John Wick
The events of the first John Wick are set in motion by the murder of John's (Keanu Reeves) beloved pet beagle Daisy, and once John has had his bloody revenge, he ends the movie by breaking into an animal shelter and freeing a pitbull, which becomes his pet for the remainder of the series.
But there's actually a little more to this than first meets the eye - if you look closely when John is liberating the dog, you can see that the dog's patient notes have the words "To be put down" stamped in red ink.
So, anyone worried that John stole a dog from an actual owner can rest easy - he actually saved the canine from being imminently put to sleep.
Given that John himself spends the entire franchise scarcely skirting death until fate finally catches up with him, it's a rather apt metaphor that he saves a dog from being shuffled off their mortal coil.
