We can’t even count the number of times we’ve been dragged to some canine haven by an overzealous pet, so this new ad by Petco, brought to us by good old Brentter, definitely struck a sappy chord.

We were jarred back into reality by the voice and branding message at the end, though. It just didn’t jive well. The guy sounded like a hard-boiled narrator for an energy drink – you know, like this, except ever so slightly less intense.

That bold-ass font didn’t help matters either.
