The list goes far beyond the fate of dogs: it includes topics such as sexual violence, racism, suicide, torture, self-mutilation and even sudden scares.

More than an internet curiosity, the site has become a tool for collective care. For anyone who has been through traumatic situations, having the chance to predict these elements is essential to decide whether a particular work is worth watching. And, in the case of dog lovers, it also guarantees the peace of mind of knowing whether or not the four-legged friend will survive until the final credits.
