Upon seeing the Walther P38, Benji experiences a traumatic flashback wherein his former owner, a policeman, happens upon a man trying to burgle a store. The man turns revealing he has a gun, and kills Benji's owner with it. Since this is a children's film, the violence is only implied, but the film leaves little doubt as to the outcome.
