Yep. I detest it. Biggest personal examples in my nerdy life I can think of: Mara Jade, and the main female leaders from the first Borne movie. Example 1 I love Mara Jade in Timothy Zahn's work and honestly have very little experience with her outside of it, while the second is just a set of movies where this stood out to me.

This is what I loved about the first John Wick - they moved the whole trope onto the dog symbolising his wife and it worked so much better.

That still relies on building up the relationship Peter has with his uncle and showing him to be a good soul so you'd feel the death. The genius of using a puppy is that you don't have to spend almost time explaining the relationship. It's a puppy. Of course he's gonna go murder everyone now.
