Any horror movies where they don't risk themselves to save the pet?
I was watching this low budget horror comedy called Zombeavers and they go against horror movie tradition when one of the people trapped on a raft sacrifices a beloved doggo in order to give them a chance to escape.
I've seen quite a few horror movies, and it got me thinking about how in every horror movie I've seen people are willing to risk their lives to save a pet, usually a cat or dog. I've never seen one abandoned, much less sacrificing a pet like that.
I imagine it would make a character pretty unsympathetic, but I tend to agree with the guy in Zombeavers, that if I have to choose between a human or an animal, even the best boy in the world, I'd go with the human. Unless they are a cold blooded killer or something.
Anyone aware of any other exceptions to the save the pet rule? Horror history interests me, so I'm curious.
Edit: just to be clear, I was thinking specifically of situations where people or a person decided not to risk their lives to save a pet, or something similar where they put human life ahead of an animal friend. Not so much killing a pet because it's become vicious or they've gone insane or something like that.
