I'm only gonna click like if I think the dog is awesome also. And if I didn't care, I wouldn't. And if I don't think the dog is awesome, I'm gonna ignore it.
Same for if the dog died. Sure, most of the time it sucks and a dislike would be appropriate, but if the dog was bad with kids, maybe it had it coming.
In your scenario, your not adding another metric - your just changing the meaning of the action, in which case no additional information is being gained, your just changing what that action is called to appease peoples feelings.
