CNN is reporting that the American Veterinary Medical Association says people are not paying enough attention to their pet’s oral hygiene! Dogs just aren’t getting their teeth brushed enough. According to the article, dogs hide their tooth problems behind their big, goofy smiles and distract us with lots of tail wagging.
Well, the jig is up . . . let’s get serious. Just announced: the movie UP is an Oscar nomination and dogs everywhere are ecstatic. Note their frenzied circling, jumping, tail pumping and yipping every time they see you. They are bursting with the news and so proud of their movie.
Though it was a classic case of the underdog (Dug, the Golden Retrieverish dog) versus the mean dogs, we were out of our seats cheering for Dug and Kevin, his avian sidekick. Dogs everywhere are lining up to help promote this movie. . . and what is more important when you are schmoozing the Hollywood crowd, than pearly whites and fresh breath!
This oft overlooked secret weapon of the PR set is now taking center stage. Owners should be flocking to their favorite vet for a Chopper Check Up so that their dogs can go out with confidence and minty breath to better network for this nomination.
On a side note, Dax (our rottie), has gotten over his snit regarding how his breed was portrayed in the movie. He realizes the high, silly voice of the Rottweiller was simply a prop for a great cinematic opportunity and Method Acting was not employed in this role.
