Author Comments: 

"Also there was a dog who was there to garner our sympathy for the stupid odious heroine when it was killed by the Meany Mean Meanhead Peasants, which was really a waste, because the Volsky could have killed the girl to garner our sympathy for the dog instead and improved the book immensely." --mrissa's review of Paula Volsky's Illusion

'Old Yeller', perhaps? ;-)
