Global Road Entertainment is removing two scenes from “Show Dogs” after protests from bloggers and other groups took issue with a subplot involving how a Rottweiler in the NYPD’s K-9 unit, who while being inspected by judges at a dog show, becomes comfortable with strangers touching his genitals. The Rottweiler is told to go to his “zen place” during his inspection.
In a statement made to TheWrap, distributor Global Road Entertainment wrote, “Responding to concerns raised by moviegoers and some specific organizations, Global Road Entertainment has decided to remove two scenes from the film ‘Show Dogs’ that some have deemed not appropriate for children.
