PETA has called for a boycott on the upcoming film A Dog’s Purpose, after TMZ posted footage that shows a frightened dog being pushed into rushing water on set.
A second clip shows the dog being completely submerged in the water, while people begin shouting and rushing towards the animal.
“There were several days of rehearsal of the water scenes to ensure Hercules was comfortable with all of the stunts.
On the day of the shoot, Hercules did not want to perform the stunt portrayed on the tape so the Amblin production team did not proceed with filming that shot.”
