The dog is homeless and no one wants to take care of it. It has been abused and beaten.

Ukai the dog played Arthur. Ukai was found as a stray dog when he was four months old. Mark Wahlburg tried to buy him from his owner, offering a lot of money, but his owner already very close to Ukai, refused him. A very loved dog and by no accounts that I could find (because I searched A LOT) was he abused during the filming of this movie.

There's heavily implied dog on dog attacks, there is a chase scene. But there is no on screen dog fighting.

The dog is almost left behind and begins crying. The dog is very hurt during the movie but very brave about it.

***Spoiler alert*** Arthur has a history of abuse and a hard life. Nothing is shown on screen but it does suggest some pretty horrible struggles he went through. He sustains life threatening injuries but he makes it through. I’m very triggered by animal abuse but this true story was nothing but uplifting and pure joy to watch. I watched it, bought it and watched it again.

No animals die in this movie at all. None. Zero. This should be 100% NO answers. People are definitely trolling this page if they put YES as an answer in any of the animal categories.

It was a very happy ending. It is a moving, wonderful story. Yes, dog and humans go through immense, tear-worthy trials and tribulations, but the movie finishes with plenty of petting, tail-wagging, and happiness for the dog and his people. You even get to see photos of the real Arthur during the credits, looking regal and happy. If you love dogs, I promise you will love this movie. I am extremely sensitive to animal cruelty in film (in story and on set), and this one did a fantastic job with the on-screen story, while keeping the dog actor obviously safe from harm.

The dog is bleeding constantly throughout the entire movie, and you get a look at the wound in a medical scene near the end. Additionally, you see a close up of one of the racers pulling skin off of a wound on her heel about halfway through.

I cannot stress this enough - just because it's not Marley and Me doesn't mean this is a feel good movie like Beethoven. Avoid at all costs.
