Stray puppy gets left behind when Natty has to escape. Nothing seen technically abandoned, since she leave the pup where her friend can find it, but I still found it pretty sad to see her chain the puppy up and run off. Based on an earlier conversation in the film, it sounds like her friend has helped her out with stray dogs before, so the outcome seems positive.

There is a scene where a fox gets into a hen house and chases hens, followed by the wolf fighting the fox to defend the hens. When the owner comes out, he shoots at both animals. I think there was a yelp to indicate he got the fox, but the editing of the film makes this unclear. No hens are shown dead or dying. The fox is not shown dead or dying either.
