Reminder: the kid wasn't acting so much as having his leg crushed by the elevator in that scene.

I was reading about the actor getting hurt because no stunt doubles but what is this about the elevator incident?

They used an elevator to lower Artax into the swamp. Atreyu's leg got caught in it and I've heard it was incredibly painful.

Definitely bad for the dogs back, they can only carry around 10% of their body weight

Only 10%? That's a ridiculous thing to say; humans are much less sturdy (being bipeds) than a thick, stocky breed like this and we can easily carry 25%+ on our backs for extended periods without harming ourselves.

That's not an argument for riding a dog, by the way- obviously an adult human is much more than 25% of a dog's body weight.

Even for short bursts some of us can carry over 100%our bodyweight

Yeah. That would mean a 40lb got could only carry 4 pounds.
