Oliver Has His Day
When a commercial can touch people through emotion, you often — not always but often — have a successful advertisement. The Pedigree dog food brand tapped actor David Duchovny to voice spots for an image campaign to promote the company’s donations to animal shelters.
Here is one of the original commercials you’ve probably seen:
One of the dogs featured in some of the spots, and particularly some shorter :15 versions, was what appeared to be a Jack Russell Terrior mix named “Oliver.” A brand new spot strikes another emotional chord with animal lovers:
Whether you have pets or not, and whether you buy Pedigree or not, I hope you’ll consider making a donation to an animal shelter near you. There are far more animals than homes available, and these hard working people are doing everything they can to take care of unwanted animals that may never be as lucky as Oliver.

I do feed my dog Pedigree. I also go to the Animal Rescue Site and click to help feed animals in shelters.
I like your new picture. Way to go with the weight loss.

Those commercials made me cry.
