Originally posted by Classicalla: I do think Clark could have saved Jonathan without anyone noticing. As for saving the family dog, I can see Jonathan going back for the dog and thinking that he had more time. Plus the dog also dies. Having a child die in MoS probably wouldn't have been a good thing and would have garnered negative attention - thus the dog.
Um... no. The dog survives. Jonathan is able to let it out of the car, and it runs towards the group under the overpass. But Jonathan is stuck in the car due to the other car hitting the top of it. Finally, he's able to free himself and then realizes that he can hardly walk, let alone run away from a tornado. The dog he releases from the car is the same one still living with Martha all those years later.
