As soon as Marley has trouble on the steps, turn the movie off and set fire to it in a dumpster. Happy ending!

At the very end of the movie Marley is put down due to health issues. Although it is very sad he dies peacefully in a vets office. Him and his owner have a moment of friendship and gratitude where you can really see his love.

A woman is stabbed by a man. It's unsure if there was also sexual assault involved. This does not involve main characters. The woman doesn't even have a name.

A girl is stabbed in the movie, prompting the main couple to move to a safer environment. The stabbing happens off-screen but she screams, Owen Wilson’s character runs out to find her wounded (there’s some blood on her side) and she describes what happened to her.

I don't know why people are saying no - a young girl gets stabbed on the driveway which is why they move away- not sure the timeframes but the girl screams and John runs out.

No, but possibly related, a girl describes being held at knifepoint. She’s stabbed off-screen and there is some blood on her side.

Well, not the act of pooping, but there is poop. Including a scene where the man has to spray Marley’s poop to retrieve a piece of jewelry from it that the dog ate.

The teen neighbor screams when she is stabbed, John goes outside to find out what is going on and assists her in getting an ambulance.
There are typical kids screaming/yelling & Parents yelling at kids in a typical way, not an abusive way.
