Does the dog die?

The Thing
Movie • 2011 • Horror
ReportWhen paleontologist Kate Lloyd travels to an isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime, she joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison. Paranoia spreads like an epidemic as a creature that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish in this spine-tingling thriller.

At 23:00-24:00, the dog whines in anticipation and is seen growling after the 24:00 mark when Thing gets out of the ice. So if you skip past that, which you probably should because sensitive folks like me will know something happened to the dog, you’ll need to fill someone in as to what happened. A search party goes out after and from I’m told on here, there’s more after the 27:00 mark so I jumped to 30:00 entirely. I don’t care what I missed and I doubt it’s THAT important. The thing got out, got murderey, the people attacked it with fire. Good ‘nuff.

45:00 In that same moment the main female character is discussing that The Thing can replicate humans and trying to provide insight to the situation and she is brushed off as going insane.
Also throughout the movie they gaslight one another because The Thing is pretending to be one of them or multiple of them and does not want to be found.

No one is shown to be tied up, locked in a small space, or forcefully held by someone else. However, some characters are locked in a separate building as a precaution.

It's not actually an amputation, but an arm does come off - it detaches itself from the body, being/becoming an independent creature.

No, but there is a falling scene: A vehicle (snowcat) with several people in it falls down into a crevasse, and only stops falling when it gets wedged between the sides because the crevasse tapers. The people survive, apparently unharmed.
