Hmmm I personally think It was a accident.
They were just playing around.
Its a big truck what Trent drives , Trent was driving along side Tracker , Tracker moved in front of the car and Trent was not able to stop in time.
Say he took the dog to a vet , there would be a very small chance of it surviving, and what would he say to Bret and Eric mambius .
Hi we just had a fight , and this may seem a bit coincidental but I just hit your dog with my truck., accident I swear!
They would sue him everywhere.
So he did the thing any normal person would do in that situation , put the dog out of its misery and avoid trouble. -

wow i have never been able to figure that scene out and after reading all these postings im not any closer. i do think trent was mad and the scene showed the dog laying down breathing fast. i could not tell if the dog was badly hurt. devon did want to take it to the vet. he did not seem to take any pleasure in putting it out of its misery. i still dont understand

i think he definitely hit the dog on purpose-venting his anger at the gated community people but then he regretted it immediately and put the dog out of its misery as an act of kindness
wrapping it in the flag - ye shas to do with his dad-laying it at the gate was trent being thoughtful and returning the dog to its home
devon reacted the way she did because she was scared of trent at that time -

I think he was kind of lost in the moment. All hefelt was his anger, and he wanted the bullies to py, but when he actually hit the dog he snapped out of it. He realised what he had done and he was deeply sorry that he had vented his frustation on an innocent animal and so he killed him as an act of mercy.

I personally have to agree with orangskulls. He couldn't take the dog to the vet. And even if he attempted some sort of secret mission to take the dog to the vet and then when he's fixed drop him at the community, he would'nt have been able to afford it.
Also am I the only one who felt Devon had a devilish look before the dog got hit and she seemed to be the one to encourage him to go after it. I think when push came to shove, she didn't want Trent to hurt the dog, because she prefers him to people. -

Well the only thing in the movie that spoilt it was the killing of the dog, it was uncalled for and unnecessary in my opinion.
I liked Trent up until that part, it ruined it because I did not like him after that. I am a great animal lover so I guess I am going to feel that way. Other than that part the movie is brilliant.

i thought that while they were chasing the dog with the truck Trent's face kinda looked like he meant to hit Tracker, but they he seemed to have an "oh beep what did i just do" look on his face and hitting Tracker was to put him out of his misery. as for Devon, i thought she was just scared and not sure what had really happened and only after her parents and everyone freaked out she realized what she had done and then had to try and save her friend.

I know this is a fairly fair out idea, but do you notice that Trent had a dog house. I think this might be significant. There may have been a reason that we dont see on the screen, maybe they killed his dog etc. It also zooms out to his gate at one point and you can see the bones that are embroidered on the metal. I honestly think that he took revenge but felt bad about killing the animal and thus wrapped it in the flag.
If you want to go really far out, you might go on to think of his lawnmower as a dog of sorts the film is after all called lawn dogs. They killed his Lawnmower and thus he killed their dog. Just a thought.
