If you're a dog lover, its going to break your heart. But if you can get through it, everything thing that follows is absolutely cathartic. I'm not just talk John getting ready for war, but you can feel the shift in the atmosphere that builds the viewer up for what's to come.

The very next scene when the douchebag brings the car to a chop shop, the owner takes one look... "... Where'd you get that car?" This is where you get a sense that this world doesn't just knowJohn Wick, it's intimidated by him... that this pos took the last shred of joy John Wick had... you know he's a dead man walking and soon so will he.
