The [Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-canin-cafe-frenchie) commercial features plenty of [posh pooches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-dog-day), but the real message is about helping out those who are in need of a guide dog harness.

If people are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on [doggy accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goyard-pet-luxe), the Royal Dutch Guide Dog Foundation hopes that they can spare a few bucks to support a cause. The ad was created by the advertising agency Selmore. See this wicked ad for yourselves in the featured gallery.
