Kudos to the LA County District Attorney's office for a bit of shock advertising.
Yesterday they released a press release and poster reminding pet owners it's illegal to leave your pet unattended in a hot car. The poster can be downloaded in English as a 11" x 16" or 5" x 7" as well as in Spanish in the same sizes.
The poster has a cute puppy named "Bilby" sitting on a pan in an open oven. “Hot Oven, Hot Car…It’s the Same Thing” reads the poster. “Leaving an animal in a hot car is a CRIME.”
While it's a bit weird to see a poster of a dog in an oven, the public awareness message resonates loud and clear.
I'm glad they didn't do any of the following:
- model a dachshund puppy (HOT DOG!)
- tried to play off the "this is your brain on drugs" iconic TV commercial
- use an open microwave instead of an oven
