How did this site come about?
DoesTheDogDie.com was created in 2011 to prevent people from being triggered by seeing a dog die in a movie. Cat deaths was the next trigger the site started tracking followed by depictions of pregnancy. Things kind of exploded from there. DoesTheDogDie now tracks 204 different triggers.

How do I add a new movie, tv show, book, etc.?
Go to this page and fill out the form. The site will check to make sure the item hasn't already been added. After that, you will be able to give yes/no ratings for each trigger that the site tracks.
How do I request a new trigger category?
Go to this page and enter the name of your trigger. The site will check to make sure a similar trigger hasn't already been added. Before the site starts tracking your trigger it will need 1,000 votes.
What are Scene Alerts?
Scene Alerts are advance warnings for trigger moments — written by paid contributors who watch each title carefully. Each alert includes a description of what happens before the scene so you know it's coming, a skip-to timestamp so you can bypass the moment with your remote, and a non-graphic, spoiler-conscious description.
Community Ratings (the crowd-sourced yes/no answers) are always free. Scene Alerts are available with a subscription — and the trigger categories most closely associated with trauma recovery and crisis are permanently free for everyone, funded by subscribers.
How do I help DoesTheDogDie.com?
  1. Rate titles by clicking Yes/No on any unanswered triggers.
  2. Subscribe to Scene Alerts — your subscription pays contributors, helps the site grow, and unlocks more free Scene Alerts for everyone. 
How do I contact someone at DoesTheDogDie.com?
The best way to contact us is via email at contact-faq@doesthedogdie.com.
When browsing titles by trigger why is "Yes" disabled, but only for some triggers?
The mission of the site is to prevent our users from being triggered. For some sensitive triggers, exposing a giant list of movies depicting the event would only serve to enable negative emotions. If you think you have a legitimate use-case for the data please contact us.
What do I do if I accidentally clicked Yes or No incorrectly for a trigger?
Don't worry about it. Over time other users will click the correct answer and expose the truth. The power of crowd-sourcing!
I found an insensitive, spammy, or trolling comment. What should I do?
The quickest way to get a comment removed from the site if to downvote it. After enough downvotes the site automatically removes the offending comment.
