The Dog by his side - Explained

German Sheppard's are known to never leave their owners side both in life and in spirit.

The dog was his dog, Duke, the one he mentioned. He was close to death and the spirit of his German Sheppard was there for him.

There is still the unexplained strange case of the dead body on the road next to him. What he crawled around for days and then found the road exactly where one of the robbers was tossed from the vehicle and lay there dead undiscovered? I don't buy that. Especially when you consider how quickly the cop found him on the road. Why did nobody spot the body?

I guessed the ID wouldn't be his and that he would find out later. Or a least that was what we were supposed to believe. Could it be that he was one of the bank robbers and in his delusional state he created the hostage memory at the end? Did he really kill the girl?

Also when he found the revolver, it was full of empty cartridges. We didn't see him find or load any ammo. Yet he fired shots. Where did the ammo come from?

This movie was made to create conspiracy theories in my opinion. But most people don't care enough about the movie to give the theories the justice they probably deserve. So lets start here.

The dog was a Belgian Malinois, otherwise, a good write up. After watching the movie, I'm still not sure if he was a victim or perpetrator.

I didn't understand the shooting either. Since we saw empty cartridges. He probably imagined it shooting. Or not every was empty. Or it was an error from filmmakers.And who would even go on robbery with such small gun? Where was other weapon? There were 3 robbers. They surely had more then one gun.

Dead body on the road was one of the robbers. He fell out of a car or crawled there too. Those kind of roads could be car free for days. There could be no cars for 5 days easily. Or car could not see him lying there.

We don't know how much time pass between call and cop arriving. Could be few hours. He called cop, don't forget. Cop did not just find him. He had phone.

Movie pretty much explained it in final twist that he was kidnapped and it was his girlfriend. And she didn't die. I buy that.

I assume he imagined falling into river? Because no way he would crawl back to car.

I didn't understand who was that guy who stole money and where he came from? Then was killed and eaten by animal and that's where our character found phone in that cave. Did he imagine that too. Movie created too much of fake imagined stuff.

Also I didn't understand why didn't he crawl back to find road in the first place. It was obviously that car fell from somewhere. Cliff or a road. And there were broken trees and pretty much way from where car came. So road must be near by.

He did it in the end and found the place they fell from. I liked how they made it look like there was no road to which he complained to himself. But road was actually higher.

Till the end of movie I thought dog belonged to that other guy who stole money and then died in that cave.
