Josh Gad agreed to be Germanypart of the upcoming A Dog's Purposebecause it "captures the beauty and pain of loving a pet," but was rattled by TMZ footage that appeared abusive to animals on set. The dog in the video, Hercules, was forced into the water to perform a stunt.
"Today, however, I saw a disturbing video...on the set of this film," Gad wrote on his Facebook page, responding to the viral video for the first time publicly.
