Depressed Dog Simulation Hits Chilean Bus Shelters

Unwitting public transport users were treated to a depressing sight at some bus stops in Chile: a simulation of emaciated, depressed dogs peering out of cages, one side of which is actually the bus shelter wall.

The video below demonstrates the effort drew a crowd of gawkers and photo-snappers. Whether it earned any of those sad oily mutts a home, however, remains to be seen.

Work by TBWAFrederick, Chile for an adoption program sponsored by Pedigree, whose kibble our dogs have consciously avoided since the early ’90s. You know what’d be a real buzzkill though? A pet shelter desktop widget, like San Diego Zoo’s panda cam, which we listlessly stare at between blogs.
