Love & Mercy
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.
