I've seen statements by the company they got the dog from , the producer , the author , and the Winnipeg humane society , they all sound different to me ....... the producer said he reviewed footage from earlier that day and the dog was happily doing the stunt ....... you'd think it'd be easy enough to put that footage out there ? I would think there were more than one of their cameras filming all the attempts at the stunt ? considering how bad this press is , how much money this may cost them , i'd think they'd inundate the web with their footage of the dog happily doing the stunt .......
