So I do not have an AO3 account because I don't write fanfic that I'm willing to show anyone (though I've considered joining just to be able to do 'Original Work' for treats for exchanges that I watch), but a discussion on a friend's journal just now had me wondering about something and I went to check.
And I have discovered that while there are multiple freeform 'the dog lives' tags, there is no uniformly applied tag for "the dog doesn't die" that one can also use to find fics that include dogs that don't die.
But at least a lot of people are warning for whether or not dogs die, because that's basically the only thing I would want a concrete warning for. (Well, that and the one DNW EVER that no one ever warns for, so I accept it as something to make me DNF a thing rather than not start it.)

(poss. C/N to hostess: non-detailed description of real life case I was collateral to follows)
FORTUNATELY the one time something similar happened to me the piece of garbage escalated from "long term cheater" to "actually a long term nonviolent sexual predator" in terms of what we knew about him, and very rapidly, so I never had to do the long-term "I am enraged but must be supportive while friend does something I know is bad for them because anything else will just be worse and this way I'm there to catch them when it finally blows" shit and could go directly to "he is a garbage non-entity we need to get rid of as soon as possible in all ways, and also let's make sure that part where he's terrified of me STICKS."
That was the one flood gift of that cluster fuck.
But yeah I can totally see where that would get to that point.
