I love my dog with all my heart...why would I dream about killing him? I woke up really upset. I'm trying to figure out why I would dream something like this, and what it means.

The purpose of upsetting dreams is to get the attention of the conscious mind, not to "prove" you are evil or insane. Unlike the previous posters who want to blow this off as something from TV or too much chocolate, I believe upsetting dreams are the most important.
Usually the elements of a dream are facets of yourself. With no context there's no way to tell what facet your dog represents. Although the violence is horrifying when taken literally, it's a fact of life that all personal growth involves something dying to make way for something new. If the killing was voluntary, then I'd guess the dream is about letting go of something or suppressing something so that a new development can occur--and probably an important development, not something trivial like training your dog not to mess up the carpet.
I'll also mention that recovering addicts frequently dream of doing violence to themselves. The addiction has taken over their life so completely that they symbolically kill their old self so a recovered self can emerge. The dreams don't mean they are suicidal--they are a sign of recovery.

Has your dog recently done something it shouldn't have? For example, peeing on the carpet, making a mess around the house, or anything?
If so, you're just venting the anger through dreams, nothing bad.
If not, don't worry. More than likely, you saw something on television relating to this, or heard it in a background conversation. Believe me, it's nothing awful or serious. We all have crazy dreams.

Don't think so much it's just a dream. Maybe it was just an accident in your dream. I have had some bad ones where I woke up thinking my kid ran out in front of a car and couldn't get it out of my head for a couple days.

What do canine propose to you in my view - are they too trusting , too keen to persist with others' leads ? Are they too impulsive , vulnerable to attack earlier questioning ? Do you experience that they seem to be a mirrored image of your primal or "animal" nature ? attempt to discover the standard link which identifies the " canine like traits ' in your self - canine are incredibly social animals - learn your close relationships. in line with danger some habit or habit desires be"killed off" to make way for a metamorphosis or develop on your existence - canine have a lot of very useful traits too so which you're able to discover some solutions in working with this besides.
