The film's producer, Gavin Polone, has gone on the defensive, accusing the video of being deliberately misleading, while Quaid said the same in comments to Entertainment Tonight, wondering why someone truly concerned about animal welfare would hesitate to release a tape showing the alleged abuse of a dog on set until a week before the film's release. The video prompted calls for a boycott from PETA, as well as a cancelled press tour by star Dennis Quaid (a scheduled interview with The Globe and Mail was canned the night the video in question was released). Last week – just days before the film's scheduled release – TMZ published a video of one of the film's performing dogs apparently in distress, as a trainer attempts to push him into rushing water. It is difficult to consider A Dog's Purpose without noting the controversy surrounding it.
