Violence is another major theme of "A Boy and His Dog." In describing the dwindling and mutating population on Earth, Vic relates a horrifying reality:
The War had killed off most of the girls.... The things getting born were seldom male or female, and had to be smashed against a wall as soon as they were pulled out of their mother.
