The butler _didn’t_ do it.

The dog gets rabies and the kid has to shoot it.

_Both_ dogs die and are buried where the red fern grows.

Charlotte dies and has lots of babies.

Sounder isn’t dead. But he dies at the end for double the emotional scarring.

The guy with the limp who just walked out the door was the mastermind villan all along.

The supposedly slow-witted kid with the split personality was lying the whole time.
