Humane society posts a humorous ad about a troublesome dog (13 pounds of terror) [View all]

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.
