Thank you for posting this. This is all over FB too. Can't finish watching the video seeing how terrified the dog is. This movie should be boycotted.

Not gonna watch the link or the movie. I heard about abuse behind the movie. I can't even deal with it, I will break down. I hate people.

This has been on the news here too of course, the director being Swedish. In interviews the director says that an investigation has been launched to find out what happened. The article in the link above states the director was present - he himself claims he was on the set but that he did not see what happened and that he is very upset too. Apparently there were two dogs involved in the filming so the one who jumped into the water was not the one who had refused to go near the water. Nonetheless, forcing dogs is totally unacceptable and I hope this incident is thoroughly looked into. This is very upsetting - Hallström is a good director and I hope he had no part in what seems to have been a case of animal cruelty.

That "trainer" should be jailed. I never can watch animal movies,as I always wind up crying. For sure I wouldn't see this one! Sad.

I saw this on FB, and I refuse to go see the movie... the only way to get Hollywood's attention is to hit them in the profits. I'm DONE... :cursing:
