Dogvertising

VW Polo Singing Dog Ad

We've talked about catvertising, but canine commercials are just as popular.

People love animals, some think they're cute, other hilarious, but regardless of the reason, the point is, animals with character sell. Case in point, the new VW Polo Singing Dog commercial.

It features a series of Jack Russell terriers, all of them upset and whimpering save for one who is happily smiling and sining along to 'I'm a man' by Spencer Davis... guess why? He's riding shotgun in the a VW Polo!
