How Many People Has John Wick Killed for a Dog in the First Three Movies ?

With the release of John Wick: Chapter 4, the new generation's silver-screen hitman draws our attention again. As a die-hard dog lover, my question is: how many people have John Wick killed for his dog, from the first movie to now? After watching the latest chapter, I spent several hours revisiting the previous films to tally the kill count and causes of death for each movie. In this article, I'll be covering the first three films.

(The kill count in the third movie includes both John Wick's kills and those by other supporting characters. Corrections are welcome.)

Total deaths caused by one dog in the tree films: 410 people

PS: This may be one of the most thrilling action movie experiences in recent years. The first 40 minutes of action scenes had the whole theater cheering, and the editing was not shaky like in the Bourne series, but realistically displayed every action sequence, even showing close-ups of knives slowly piercing eyeballs. The fights and jokes throughout the movie were so exhilarating that they almost made me cry. It is a must-watch for all action movie fans.

Finally, here's a breakdown of the guns used by John Wick in each of the three films:
