Released first by TMZ, it showed a dog on the set of A Dog’s Purpose being forced into the water when it did not want to go.
And after an obvious cut in the footage, it also showed animal handlers rushing to rescue it from the water.
Based on the novel of the same name by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose tells the story of a dog who continues on after a few reincarnations, looking for his purpose.
The movie, like the book, was intended to be uplifting, a tribute to the relationship between people and dogs.
