Humane society posts a humorous ad about a troublesome dog (13 pounds of terror)

[Liberal_in_LA]

When Humane Society in Silicon Valley had a troublesome dog named Eddie up for adoption, they didn’t sugarcoat it. Instead of touting Eddie’s virtues, they wrote a want ad called “A Full Disclosure Blog: Three Reasons You DON’T Want To Adopt Eddie The Terrible.” And it is as funny as it is effective.

1) Like to go for walks in dog infested areas? Enjoy the dog park? Keep walking....
2) Want your kids to grow up with a full complement of fingers and toes? Not the dog for you.

If you love a challenge, are looking for the dog of a lifetime and think you can handle the thirteen pounds of terror that is Eddie, we won't stop you.

Elizabeth Laverty, volunteer photographer/videographer at the Humane Society, even put together a slasher flick-themed video to fully illustrate Eddie’s reign of terror.

Predictably, this creative campaign worked. Eddie the Terrible has been adopted, hopefully by a family with lots of naughty dog experience.


Those zombies don't stand a chance now...


You're in my world now, baby.

1. Full disclosure is a good thing but

no thanks. Poor Eddie. If children's fingers aren't safe, nothing's safe.

2. I'll wager they get alot of appilcations for Eddie

3. We've reformed two fosters that were very aggressive. We're no dog whisperers, just takes patience.

There comes a point where some switch in their head just flips, and it's almost like they can relax and enjoy being a dog.

4. We adopted an elderly tabby cat named Eddie (short for Edna) who was quite a handful in a different

way. With humans she was mostly friendly and mellow, but having grown up as an only pet she had no tolerance for other cats - she was small, and emaciated due to a hyperactive thyroid, but could strike terror into cats twice her size just by hissing and yowling. Add the fact that she refused on an almost daily basis to use the litterbox - she much preferred the garage floor - and you can see why she was such a headache for us.
