#VIDEO OF A DOGS PURPOSE MOVIE#
"I swear to you, whether I make another dime on this movie or not has no effect on my life," Palone wrote in a blog post for The Hollywood Reporter. Originally posted January 18, 2017: As reported by TMZ, a shocking video allegedly taken on the set of the upcoming film A Dog’s Purpose appears to show an animal handler forcing a terrified German shepherdtype dog into the waters of an intensely swirling pool. One of the film's producers and longtime animal-rights advocate, Gavin Palone, released a similar statement after viewing all footage from that day. 'A Dogs Purpose, produced by Amblin Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures, is a celebration of the special connection between humans and their dogs,' the companies said. Bruce Cameron, A Dogs Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. "The water wasn't his issue, it was the location that was the issue, and the dog happily did the stunt when he was allowed to return to his original spot," Cameron wrote. Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. When he was asked to do the stunt from the right side of the pool, which is shown in the edited TMZ video, he became spooked. "I have since viewed footage taken of the day in question, when I wasn't there, and it paints an entirely different picture."Ĭameron goes on to explain that he saw footage of the dog, Hercules, "joyfully jumping in the pool" earlier that day when he effortlessly performed the scene from the left side. "I found the video we've all seen to be shocking because when I was on set, the ethic of everyone was the safety and comfort of the dogs," he wrote of the original TMZ video showing the alleged abuse.
