TalkingPets.org will animate your pet for you! We've seen plenty of text-to-speech viral campaigns that place your photo within animated ads, but this is the first one Trend Hunter has featured for animals.
TalkingPets.org lets you upload a photo of your dog or cat and then type in your own customized message. Instantly, your pet's mouth becomes animated and delivers the message in sync with the words.
While you can email these fun viral greetings to your friends, unfortunately you can't embed them on your blog.
By the way, it works well on humans too: I tried!
As stated in the beginning, this is a viral ad. It's meant to generate awareness for The Blue Cross animal charity in the UK.
