Love & Mercy (2015)

Follows the life story of Beach Boys leader Brian Wilson through his turbulent childhood up to his haunted existence in his fifties.

Animal actors in this production were monitored through American Humane Society’s No Animals Were Harmed™ program.

Detailed Animal Action Report

Throughout the film, the young Brian Wilson has a pet dog, who is seen performing such mild action as sitting/standing/lying, and walking/running on or off leash. For all of these scenes, trainers used hand signals and verbal commands to cue the mild action, which the trained dog was accustomed to performing. The barking/growling was also a trained behavior.

Due to limited resources, American Humane Association did not monitor some of the dog action.
