Logan Paul has fiercely denied the claims that he attempted to kill his own dog.
YouTuber turned boxer and WWE star Logan adopted his dog Broley back in 2019 and the pooch has gone on to star in a handful of Logan's videos.
While most people love a bit of dog content, one video starring Broley from 2020 caused a lot of controversy at the time - and still is.

In the video in question, Broley is on a boat with Logan and a few others when the his four-legged friend jumps off and is seemingly swept up under the boat.
After he jumped Logan is heard frantically saying 'Stop the boat!' as he moved to the back of the vessel to see where Broley was.
Logan then jumped off the boat to retrieve his dog and help him back to the boat. Fortunately Broley appeared to be unharmed.
At the time the video was published many accused Logan of pushing his dog off the boat, but he vehemently denied this.
He wrote: "Clarifying in the comments: we would NEVER, EVER, EVER, push Broley off the boat. He jumped and a hand was behind him, petting him, and when he jumped, we attempted to grab him but FOR A FACT we did not push him.
"Watch his body language and you can very evidently see a self induced, independent jump from the little mut. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk."
Logan went on to insist that after watching it back in slow motion it was clear that Broley wasn't pushed and told his critics to 'go f**k yourselves'.
Now the 2020 video has resurfaced online, forcing Logan to speak out once more.
Sharing a clip of the video, one person penned on Twitter: "Logan Paul attempts to kill his dog by pushing it into a boat propeller for 'content' and tries to pretend it just jumped off."
While some still believe that Logan pushed the pooch, many came to the YouTuber's defense.
Someone said of Broley: "Bro it did try to jump off. Look at its feet. If pushed the feet would have been in a different way."
"This is such bait, dog clearly jumped on its own and they traded to grab him this is pathetic icl," insisted a second.
Logan himself has addressed the resurfaced video as well by sharing a screenshot of the original message he posted at the time of the initial backlash.
"4 years later & still go f**k yourselves," the 29-year-old wrote next to screenshot.
In a separate post he insisted that he 'would never' hurt his dog.
UNILAD have approached Logan's reps for further comment.
