Ded Pet

For every pet that dies in fiction, someone ties themselves to a log, jumps off of a cliff, and drifts away into the ocean.

When the pet of a character, most likely the Main, becomes the Grim Reaper's next victim, leaving us to think that we're supposed to feel sad about this fictitious animal dying, but the truth is this is so much of a Worn-Out UnTrash that it's become yet another Emotion Forcing UnTrash that won't make us feel a thing other than annoyance that this overplayed UnTrash was supposed to make us cry. Ded Pet is a very good example of when we need to Cry With Onions to even think about shedding tears over a dead animal who was loved by a character.
