Bailey - Ein Freund fürs Leben

Before theatrical release, controversy arose when behind-the-scenes footage surfaced and appeared to show a distressed dog being forcibly submerged in turbulent pool water during filming. As a result of the leaked footage, the filmmakers chose to cancel the U.S. premiere. Controversially, on February 4, 2017, the American Humane Association stated that the footage was misleadingly edited and no abuse occurred.

In one of the scenes the dog is watching "Dynasty" in the 80's on an analog TV and noting that the protagonists are fighting. Dogs could not recognize images on analog TVs, as their eyes could recognize the flicker effect that happened with analog images. It wasn't until digital TV came along in the 90's that dogs could recognize images on TV.
