On November 30, 2018, when interviewed by Deadline, Sarah said this about her first trained movie dog: I was both Kuma's trainer and his owner. Losing Kuma is the hardest thing I have ever gone through. He was my best friend and the smartest dog I have ever known in my 40 years of life. When the time came to say my last goodbye, I fed him his favorite foods, chicken and watermelon, which he ate with vigor until the very end.
