    Short answer

    The dog is killed. His mutilated corpse is shown.

    Detailed answer

    Huckleberry ("Huck") is the ship dog. He is killed early in the movie when he discovers Dracula lurking below the ship's deck. Though the killing takes place offscreen (it is implied via a sound queue and shadows), his bloody and mutilated body is clearly shown and lingered upon shortly after. A few minutes later, we see a member of the crew prepare to throw his corpse overboard.

    The mutilated bodies of livestock are also shown and lingered upon.

    Timestamps

    00:30:05 Huck barks into a dark corridor and is killed. The death is offscreen.

    00:30:30 Huck's mutilated body is discovered. Soon after, mutilated livestock is also shown.

    00:34:13 Huck's corpse, wrapped mostly in cloth, is shown once more as the crew prepares to toss him overboard.

    The movie poster of The Last Voyage of the Demeter shows a humanoid bat-like creature from behind as it spreads its wings.
