According to Neil Drunkmann, when you kill a dog in TLOU2, the owner will call out it's name, while looking for it. Thus guilt tripping the player for killing said dog. Don't you just love Misery Porn?

Wolfenstein games let you kill dogs and I don't feel bad about it because they were trained to do so.
And I love dogs.

Dead Space 1 and 2 let you kill mutant children and babies and doesn't smash your head saying you're horrible person.It's already a tragedy.

TLOU2 has the subtlelty of a nuke and pretentious like those artsy games.
