After several days, the two confirmed that it was all untrue! In here are all the notable details about the movie's case.
According to CNN, the leaked video of "A Dog's Purpose" was apparently edited to make the movie look bad. It was deliberately done so the dog will be seen being pushed down on cold water without noting the preemptive measures. "The dog was "placed in a warming tent and received an examination that found no signs of stress," American Humane explains what after the leaked scene.
In addition, the two investigator bodies also noted that besides the security measures prepared, there weren't really any signs of the dogs being abused despite the hard stunts. In essence, there are some times when Hercules, the dog on the video, won't even film because the "A Dog's Purpose" production team wouldn't want him stressed out.
Chicago Tribune also shares that the German-Shepherd, Hercules, was even checked by a veterinarian in part of the "A Dog's Purpose" investigation. The unidentified doctor claimed that the dog was stressed for a while but it wasn't at all. This follows what the prior results American Humane explained about the 'misleading' video leak where it was allegedly submerged forcefully into cold water.
For the aftermath of the video leaked on "A Dog's Purpose" movie, "the manipulated video only days before the movie's premiere, raise serious questions about their motives and ethics," this is what American Humane queries about the possible reason why the individual who leaked the video did the uncharacterized editing and manipulation of the scenes.
To conclude, this investigation result of "A Dog's Purpose" issue may shed light on what really happened; The effects it caused the movie is already done.
