• Shortly before the film's release, footage allegedly showing animal cruelty during filming surfaced online. The organization PETA called for a boycott of the film.
• A film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Bruce Cameron. The book tells the story of a dog who, each time reincarnated, finds happiness in serving a human.
• Shortly before the film's theatrical release, a scandal erupted when footage not included in the film surfaced, showing a distressed dog being forcibly pushed into the water during filming. As a result, the filmmakers decided to cancel the premiere in the United States. On February 4, 2017, the American Humane Association (founded in 1877 with the goal of ensuring the safety and well-being of animals) issued a statement. It stated that the footage in question had simply been poorly edited and that no animals had been harmed or mistreated during filming.
