I'd second the lab idea. We had one for years that was totally my Dad's dog. Beyond faithful and if trained then very obedient so no straining or running off. Also kid friendly.

Unfortunately it came as no surprise that they pulled the ad. Have these idiots got nothing better to do.

Give the dog a bloody Oscar. In fact give them both an award, the one in the car has a great voice

On local radio this morning they said it had been pulled.  confused: However, I've just done a Google news search and without reading any of the links, it seems that momentum is growing for its removal

Some dogs do "shiver" like that anyway .... without any mistreatment but I suspect this has more to do with computer enhanced pictures. Either way I do not find the advert appealing, in fact when we saw it last night, the whole family said "That's an awful ad". If anything I think I would be put off buying a VW by that ad.

(ASA), but the regulator says it will not investigate.

The 30-second execution by DDB London features a Jack Russell "singing" in the front seat of a car, but then cuts to shots of the animal shaking and cowering by his owner's legs and mumbling the song under its breath when it is no longer in the vehicle.

The ASA says it has received more than 500 complaints from members of the public and animal rights campaigners concerned the dog had been mistreated. However, it says it will not take any action as the advertiser confirmed that vets were on hand throughout the filming and that the two dogs used in the ad were "highly trained".

Well THAT was predictable and a fairly safe bet ey?
Bloody do gooders. cussing:

As a Nissan owner the shock of a VW is quite understandable.
