John Wick 3 Plot Clarification

In John Wick 3, Sofia goes to see Berrada with 2 dogs. One is shot and shown laying on the ground. She leaves with 2 dogs. I saw nothing to explain what happened and it is nearly impossible to Google because anything that contains both Wick and Dog brings up unrelated topics. Was there a third hidden dog? Was the dog shot in a bullet-proof vest and, for some unknown reason, decided to lay still instead of acting like an injured dog? Is it a zombie dog? I assume that they shot the scenes of them leaving (with both dogs) before shooting the confrontation where the dog was shot. Instead of editing out the second dog, they just assumed nobody in the audience would realize that 2-1=1 and accept that 2-1=2. 12.207.168.3 (talk) 17:58, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

If it wasn't in the movie, then you'll need to find a forum that speculates on such things - and this ain't it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:08, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, though I will say that, given the character, it's unlikely that the subject of a dog being killed would be something that got left unresolved or forgotten. It was a major feature of the first film and has been widely used in memes and jokes ever since. Matt Deres (talk) 12:38, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello. My name is John Wick. You killed my dog. Prepare to die. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:32, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

It definitely was wearing a vest. Speculation would be either that it was trained to remain still (we see Sofia plant a gun on the dog in an earlier scene, possibly for such a scenario), or that it was genuinely hurt and needed time to recover. Mingmingla (talk) 02:30, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
