Bear, the dog playing Ruby, is an actual rescue dog that was saved from a shelter just in time.
Based on a true story.
Bear's "stunt double" Shiloa had makeup provided by the makeup team so he would look like Bear during the jumping scenes.
In May 2022, the real-life Ruby was euthanized after suffering from a sudden and untreatable illness. She served with the Rhode Island State Police for 11 years.
The lead actor Grant Gustin is actually allergic to dogs.
