An old dog moves into the old folks home with its owner, who says she'll be no trouble because she won't be around much longer. The dog ends up outliving her owner. She is seen at the funeral and a nd when a character returns a couple of years later. We don't see the dog pass away.

the most that happens is a baby is left on stairs and a man sort of trips over it, but it’s over quickly and no damage is done to the baby

Although it is not entirely clear, there is a scream of camera and someone is seen sitting at the end of a staircase which could be interpreted as this person fell down the stairs.

The main character is abandoned because of a birth defect, and later taken to a faith healer to cure his disability. The character states that he cannot be a father or continue to be in a relationship because he will soon begin to lose cognitive function; another character later agrees with him.
