A dog accidentally hangs himself on his chain. He recovers, but then gets stomped to death. One of the protagonists recalls how a childhood dog was killed by a horse. Three other dogs get stomped to death later in the book. There is a pretty detailed description of the gore.

The characters in the story hunt elk for food durring the winter. There are some really graphic, gruesome descriptions of Luis’s dog Harley, dying and dead.

Not a human woman. It is revealed that the elk Louis and his friends killed was pregnant. The dead fetuses are described in detail.
