(Column 1 Item # 13 "Direct Stop Animal Deterrent Spray")

You know what kills me about that ad (Please link work)? That GSD being portrayed as a 'Dangerous Dog' is most likely a very well trained GSD who is doing a sit and gablout as commanded by his trainer.

However now, your average Joe Schmoo pet owner will associate sable GSDs with the 'Vicious' dog in the ad.

Sometimes I hate advertising.

RLHAR can you not sent complaint emails or something?

That "dangerous" dog is wearing a bedazzled flat collar...she's just saying, "I feel pretty!"

Don't worry, RLHAR. Joe Schmoo probably doesn't know what a sable GSD is anyway. Probably thinks it's a wolf-dog. ;)

It's not a purebred german shepherd. He's striped!
Sable, what the heck is sable?!?! He's striped!

I'm only horrified that a working shepherd is wearing a rhinestone collar!!!!! I thought it was a spike collar at first but it appears to a sparkly one. The poor dear.....
