House of the Dragon fans angry as dog gets kicked in new episode
House of the Dragon fans were angry after a dog was kicked in the first episode of the second season.
The HBO series, a prequel to “Game of Thrones,” returned with its second season on Sunday (June 16), but fans didn’t like one scene so much.
The clip in question features Blood (Sam C. Wilson) and Cheese (Mark Stobbart) entering the Red Keep to find Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell), but fans were outraged because Cheese kicked his dog along the way.

“Why the hell did a guy have to kick a dog? #HouseoftheDragon,” asked another angry fan, with a sixth adding, “Loved seeing Winterfell and the Wall but not the poor dog getting kicked. Great episode. #HouseoftheDragon.”
