Many years ago, nine to be exact, Fritz came to our home as a little white ball of German Shepherd fur. We watched TV and for the most part baby Fritz, ignored what he heard or saw. That was until this commercial for Honda.
Every time it would come on, he would stop, walk over to the TV and listen, tilting his head this way and that.
Eventually, they stopped running that commercial every 30 minutes, and for a couple of years it was gone. Then one day I was on You Tube, and I found it there! I played it in a silent room and he came running over.
Since that day, I play it occasionally and he always comes to listen.
Today, I played it again, after seeing that they were running it in a new campaign, with newer cars. Fritz was asleep on his bed, and he jumped up, ran over and even sang a little.
People say that dogs are stupid. They also say they have no memory. I am here to tell you that those people are full of it!
My dogs, and most dogs, are very smart, and have very long memories.
Whenever I hear that Honda Commercial I will always remember my baby boy, Fritzi!
AND he has good taste in music too! Such a sweet piece of music, a babies lullaby. Good dog, Fritz!! Love YOU, Mel
He was such a cute puppy. You don’t see many white shepherds. We had a collie/shepherd mix for 16 years. She was a special dog too.
oh yikes, I must admit when I saw the title of the post I thought something had happened to Fritz!
that is SO funny (and Fritz is ADORABLE!!!). 🙂
I just recently saw pics of my sister-in-law’s dog “watching TV” too – this dog apparently LOVES fight scenes in old Westerns – he gets all excited and cheers/barks the whole time the commotion is going on! I would NEVER say dogs weren’t smart. 🙂
Oh yes animals have a terrible memory ! It took Kim 2 years before she greated Dario again, she was so afraid he would take her back to his flat, where she had been so unhappy ! Each time she saw him or only heard his voice she disappeared until he was gone ! There must be something special in the music that Fritz loves !
Hey, you got me worried there for a second… he’s such a sweet dog, your Fritz!
I was worried as well, seeing the title and thinking the worst!
But, he was a cute puppy…
