A nice story in an unexpected place

[greatbear]

Here's a short guaranteed to tug at the heart strings like a kite in a gale force wind. Beautiful locale, gorgeous photography, perfect soundtrack, wardrobe and scenery spot on, and Oscar-worthy performances from the primaries. Not a single spoken word, but unnecessary anyway. A thousand words probably couldn't tell the story any better.

Did I mention it's only 30 seconds long?

I guess I didn't mention it's a dog food commercial either.

Thanks for posting this…

even if it's an ad for a crappy commercial dog food; I never would have seen it otherwise.

And yes, it is ridiculously sentimental; it's designed to get people remembering the heartwarming commercial when they're in the supermarket. I'm sure it works; but if you don't want to be visiting your dog's grave too soon, you'll feed him something other than Cesar. (Sorry, had to get that in.)

I can't see that stuff without hearing Eddie Izzard saying, "Cesar: dog food for small, yapper-type dogs!"

I liked it...with no complaints about the fact that it is a commercial...It captures why people love their dogs

Lovely! If I had a dog, I'd be buying that brand of dog food!

I found it moving. Years ago Paul and his partner had two Labradors. A photographer approached Paul when he was out walking them and then came round to the house and took their photographs. Some time later Paul was buying dog food in the supermarket and a photo of the dogs was on the tins of Cesar. The dogs names were Caeser and Fella.
