Echo found a home!

Ok you guys know those pedigree commercials about the shelter dogs. Well there was particular one about a dog named Echo who kept getting passed up.

Here's his video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ODC5e3AEa8

Well turns out the sweet boy found a home and they aired a new commercial that I just saw today, of course when I watched it I immediately started bawling my eyes out! Gah anyways here's the new Echo commercial.

Apparently they have other adopted pedigree commercials as well but I have yet to see them and can't watch them on youtube either because of no sound on my computer. I'm glad to see these follow ups though, how great to know they were adopted!

Aw, how wonderful! I remember the earlier commercials; haven't seen the follow up ones; YET!

Thanks for letting us know!

Oh yes - I remember Echo. That commercial ran a lot during Westminster.

Thank you so much for the wonderful news!!

I had NO clue those were REAL shelter dogs, maybe that's why I always get teary-eyed watching them? Echo's real hit me hard since he was SO happy to see someone possible adopt him. I am so happy to see he got adopted and is living a happy life with his new family! His true personality really comes out.

I saw an 'I got adopted' commercial with a little white dog in it. I am so glad to know these are true stories.

I knew he had been adopted, but I hadn't seen the new commercial yet. Very cute. I always had a soft spot for Echo because he reminded me of my baby.

I love, love, love that comercial and I had no idea he got adopted!! What a wonderful thing Pedigree is doing by showing support for shelter dogs, hopfully it will change people's minds and they will adopt instead of buy from a breeder.

The one I can't watch without crying is this one:

The part where they say "But I know I am a good dog" and the dog they show during that part, he always pulls at my heart strings. I don't know why, but his face is always the one that makes me cry.

Echo's commercial made me cry. I get LES just thinking about his story. I may not like pedigree's ingridients, but they are doing a wonderful thing having thease comercials. I think that gives more hope to shelter animals.

OMG I saw that commercial for the first time today and it made me tear up big time. I also didn't know they used real shelter dogs but I am so glad to hear that.

I know pedigree is a business and wants to make money and doesn't use the best ingredients but I would much rather a dog be fed pedigree in a forever home than be stuck in a shelter and eat top notch food.

I love that commercial.
