Another Car Manufacturer, Another Dog, Another Barrage of Complaints?

Proving correct the old adage that all publicity is good publicity, Japanese car maker Nissan has followed hot on the heels of Volkswagen in placing a dog in the front seat of a car to promote its new model.

The Volkswagen advert, featuring a ‘singing’ dog drew a slew of complaints from viewers and even attracted criticism from the RSPCA.

The Nissan advert shows a dog ‘driving’ a car through a ring of fire. Oh, the danger!
