I watched the movie A Dog's Purpose last night.

Pretty good movie. Some sad moments, but a happy ending. Anyone else seen it?

On a 10 hour international. I was well aware of the situation of animal abuse and boycott. Because of this, I do not think this film will be nominated for awards. I knew the scene involved a shepherd in a water scene, and thought the clip could totally have been produced without the problems. Thank you for posting this.
But yes, I did watch the movie but with an eye for detail and information. It was a sleepless night.
