2008-04-14T03:28:12+01:002008-04-14T03:28:12+01:00The 30-second advertisement features a Jack Russell happily "singing" in the front seat of a car with apparent "Polo confidence".

A video of the advert is on-site if you haven't seen it. 286 complaints, wtf is wrong with some people!]]>

It's because of crap like this that I am scared to have my dog around other people/pets/places. Just too many people looking for an excuse to cry wolf.]]>237799

Because we've got a JR I've asked our vet about it before and he says it's because she's a wimp, lol.

She shivers sometimes while she's falling asleep, when she's excited and a variety of other occasions. Mostly I think she does it to keep us guessing. ;)

Volkswagen have pulled the advert now because of the RSPCA complaining about it, apparently they don't know a lot about animals :(

I wonder if the same people and the RSPCA get all outraged when they see a dog "die" in a film. It's hard to believe that people are so naive to animal training and natural behavior.]]>237794
