VW Polo Singing Dog ad
Monday, April 7th, 2008
I was shocked to find out over the weekend that the VW singing dog ad has been pulled off tv!!! Supposedly hundreds of complaints from viewers (Idiots) suspecting animal abuse. The advert has a dog singing when inside the VW Polo and shivering when outside of the car. The advert was very successful on the internet hitting over 500′000 hits on Youtube.
The owner of the dog had trained him to stand on a vibrating plate for the advert. Hollywood animal trainer Steve Berens said:
“I’d train him to stand on the plate, and then have it vibrate lightly until he got used to it, and by the time we came to film the ad he was happy on it. People who think he is distressed are very much mistaken.”
What the hell is wrong with people?! The dog (Bear) was treated fine he is a proffesional acting dog. Have people got nothing better to do than write in and get great adverts taken off tv?! For no reason whatsoever!?
The RSPCA ultimately concluded that no dogs were harmed. So put it back on TV!
