What happened to the puppy that was killed in the first 'John Wick' movie?
  • In the first "John Wick" movie, Keanu Reeves' assassin is given a puppy by his late wife.

  • Unfortunately, a gangster kills the puppy when breaking into John's house to steal his car.

  • Thankfully, the real-life dog had a much happier ending.

When Keanu Reeves' John Wick first arrived on the big screen back in 2014 (before it became a huge franchise), audiences expected to see a fun action movie about a widowed hit man being brought back into the criminal underworld.

But most were horrified when the adorable puppy given to Wick by his late wife was killed within the first 20 minutes of the movie.

It's a brutal moment, but Daisy the Beagle's death instantly gets the viewer on Wick's side as he embarks on his quest for revenge against the mobster who killed her.

After all, who wouldn't want to get bloody revenge for the murder of their fur child?

Thankfully, it's all just fiction and Daisy the Beagle wasn't actually harmed in the making of "John Wick." Phew!

However, Daisy is actually a boy, who was originally called Andy, and he was owned by Kim Krafsky, a dog trainer for Animal Actors International.

Krafsky later gave an update about Andy when speaking to LADbible back in 2021, reassuring fans that he lives with a friend of hers, and he's still alive and kicking.
