I saw part of a movie on TV two or three years ago, and I chiefly remember it for one moment of Black Comedy. I think the overall plot was something to do with a group of siblings coming back to their old home town to stay with their parents for a while. In the scene I remember, the setup is that their father has this very old, sickly dog, and one of his sons is concerned for its well-being and wants the father to have it euthanized, which the father refuses to do. The father is fond of feeding the dog treats by hand, so one day the son surreptitiously replaces the dog treats with poisoned ones. He sees his father coming to give the dog its treats, and seeing how much affection the man and the dog show each other, has a last minute change of heart and tries to distract his dad so he can get rid of the poisoned ones and replace them. While this is happening, one of the poisoned treats falls to the floor and the dog of course immediately eats it.
