COP OUT

Jimmy (Bruce Willis), a police officer, tries to sell a valuable baseball card so he can pay for his daughter’s wedding. While he is in a store, he is robbed and the card is taken. He and his partner Paul (Tracy Morgan) go after the thugs to get the card back.

Featured Animal Action

A pit bull chases Paul as he rides a bike and is dressed  in a cell phone costume. The dog catches up to Paul and runs alongside the bike, tugging at the costume. The dog knocks the bike and rider over and continues tugging on the costume. This scene was filmed in separate shots. A trainer released the dog, and another trainer stood where the dog was to run and called the dog. The actor fell over on the bike and the trainer cued the dog to tug at the costume.

Due to late notification, American Humane did not monitor part of this dog scene.
