hey PF 
de nada!!
hey good to know that a cat lover can be as selfless as to actually write a piece for the chweet bumchumzz.aka dogzz...
then you must be a lazy lazy boy who doesn't check his notes from fellow bloggers...
now speeking of the fab pug in focus. he is cute doggie and i feel only "oh-cho-cute!!) emotions when i am watching the vodafone add....
then the mean jounalists had to spoil it for me...sadists!! it just reminds me of my doggie 
how angry i wold be if it was ma boo getting exploited like that...
then again i know how this machine works...this might be again another stunt pulled off by other rival conglomerates...this is such a confusing world...
my guilty conscience suggests i should blog more to creat awareness and may be spend a day with fellow doggie lovers...
cheerio..

krishna,

Thanks!

PF

Ash,

Different strokes for different folks

The general apathy toward animals is exemplified by your comment...what is a knee high girl supposed to do with 'had earned' money anyways?

Try to be compassionate toward animals buddy.

PF

Good post!

Let us do our part to to protect the animals from cruelty from humans!

KRISHNA BAALU

Dear A,
Why  are  you  sounding  like  Maneka  ji  alias  Ms  Gandhi!
I    would  rather  pity  that  lovable  girl,whose  hard  earned  money  may /will  go  to  her  parents!
It  looks,   hard work  and  no  play  made  my  highly  learned  friend  a  dull  boy!
yours friendly,
ashish  dimri

Vish,

AWBI is primarily composed of humans

The poor pug must be licking the greasepaint off his face in one more exotic locale...hee hee

I've seen the treatment meted out to the poor in hospitals...curdles moi blood ...the nurses...the ayas...the docs...butchers all...

PF

PF,
Agree with the proviso that in our country humans are treated with the same respect as  animals..just visit public hospitals, village schools, public toilets,primary health centres, government offices...
so a dog shouldnt complain more loudly than humans
vish

Vish,

The choice of a pug for the ad is no sheer co incidence...nor does the cuteness factor of the pog tip the balance in its favor...pugs are a clingy breed...sample this:

'Pugs are clingy dogs because they’re people dogs that thrive on human companionship. This shouldn’t come as any surprise because they were bred to be companion dogs. If you get a Pug, expect it to be at your feet and under your feet all the time. Not once in a while or during meal time -- all the time. A Pug will follow you everywhere.'

While I am at it...sample this as well:

'Pugs Don’t Catch Frisbees: Pugs are low-activity dogs. This means that they sleep a lot, as much as fourteen hours a day. It also means that Pugs have short bursts of energy, so you won’t see a Pug run very long or very far before it slows down and retreats for a nap. A Pug isn’t going to jog alongside you on the sidewalk. It won’t even consider trying to catch a Frisbee. Most Pugs won’t even fetch a ball or a stick. If you’re an outdoor person seeking to share your active outdoor lifestyle with a dog, don’t get a Pug.'

Like Itold istroller...mebbe Rocky wasn't ill treated...but animals are treated badly in our country...

PF

Hello istroller,

Thank you.

Cruelty is indeed a fascinating word...open to so many interpretations!

I mean...not patting your pet dog...as it runs toward you...can be cruel as well...

Animals always get the raw deal in our country...not surprising where even human lives are of diminishing value!

About the pug...maybe the production crew wasn't as cruel as potrayed by the AWBI...but animals are ill treated per se on an avarage Bollywood set...

The sight of caged birds always makes me cringe...what do they feel...when they see the sky?

PF

The good thinkgabout a democracy is that even C category issues are taken up by someone or the other...The bad thing is that more often than not, its just to create hype...
Its a cute ad, but if it does cause pain and discomfort to the dog then it should be removed.. ofcourse films should not show anyone eating chicken or meat by that token..
