Pedigree will always have a soft spot in my heart.
Sarah McLachlan’s ASPCA ads can absolutely bring you to tears but so do the commercials from Pedigree’s Adoption Drive.
Here’s the videos of all the actual dogs in Pedigree commercials that are looking to be adopted. The videos depict the circumstance that each dog found themselves in through no fault of their own:
- “A Dog Named Echo”:

There are a few follow ups that return to the dogs that did eventually get adopted but just like the real world, more than 50% of them never got adopted.
