Betrayal elicits stronger negative emotions than mere villany. The traitor, the false friend, we hate more than we hate an honest enemy. The betrayer adds the wounding our our pride to their other sins. We want to hurt them particularly, and personally, for having made fools of us. That and harming an animal, apparently. I have been told by agents that no matter what you do in a story, you cannot harm a dog. Readers just won't stand for it. Dash babies heads against a stone if you must, but don't step on a dog's paw.
