Scenes cut from ‘Show Dogs’ over resemblance to sexual abuse
LOS ANGELES — Two scenes are being cut from the family movie “Show Dogs” after complaints that they resemble real-life sexual abuse, the movie’s distributor has announced.
In the movie, a police dog goes undercover at a dog show to catch animal smugglers.
In one scene, the dog is told to go to his “zen place” when he objects to having his testicles touched by a show judge.
In another scene, the dog is urged to overcome his resistance to being touched to become a champion.
