Pedigree Unleashes Animal Menagerie on Super Bowl

It's the Super Bowl and...OMG...look! It's a commercial with animals in it! How novel. How groundbreaking. How paradigm shifting. How...oh wait...it's a Pedigree ad. Of course they have to have animals in it.

But a rhinoceros? An Ostrich? A wild bore? A water buffalo? Oh yes indeed. How better life is with a simple dog than with a rhino that demolishes your door, an ostrich that attacks the mail man, a wild bore that hogs the back seat and a water buffalo that can't play Frisbee.

Created by TBWA\Chiat|Day, the commercial, called Crazy Pets, marks the first time the dog food maker has appeared in the Super Bowl.

And because Pedigree are such nice people, the brand promises to donate eight ounces of dry dog food (up to a value of $1 million) to animal shelters each time someone views the commercial or behind the scenes footage online.

In addition, Pedigree has made is very easy to share the commercial and vignettes with social media widgets and they've created a barking ringtone for the iPhone.

If you can't see it...you're an idiot.
