The True Story Behind A Häagen-Dazs Ad (The Canine Kind)

By guest blogger, Phoebe (my BFF!)

Ever wondered what goes on behind those picture perfect ads? I'm here to debunk the so-called glamorous lifestyle of a four-legged supermodel. .

. {Hi, I'm Phoebe. I'm a supermodel.}

.

MYTH: Modeling is easy.
FACT: Modeling is hard work! Striking a pose when you're not in the mood is no easy feat. Plus, those flood lights are just too hot when you're wearing fur.

.

{Taking cue from renowned dog behaviorist, Fred Alimusa.}

.

{Sigh. Modeling is tiring.}

.

MYTH: Models take bribes.

FACT: Weeelllll... maybe sometimes... but only if the price is right! ;) The modeling industry is a dog eat dog world. You gotta do what you gotta do. Besides, I'm a model, not a saint.

.

{My agent, Janine, "coaxing" me with a surprise treat after the shoot...}

.

{Surprise!}

{Oh wow, vanilla dog biscuits topped with ice cream. My favorite!}

.

MYTH: Models starve to be skinny.
FACT: Whoever lives by that rule obviously haven't tasted the rich, creamy, buttery bliss called Häagen-Dazs Caramel Biscuit and Cream. Diet? No-doggone-way!
.

{Aaah, the perks of being a model...}

.

MYTH: Models are spoiled brats.

FACT: If you didn't get your ice cream fix, wouldn't you be cranky too?

.

{My agent booking me more modeling jobs.

Heeeey, quit texting. I WANT MORE ICE CREAM!}
.

BONUS: Never before seen

dIM

I had a customized collar made with my name, IMP. My mum broke it while we were in Pet Express MOA and accidentally left it behind. When she went back to get it, she happily found out that they fixed it. One little thing though, now I have a new alias. My name is either: WIP or dIM. My mum thinks I look more like a dIM! ;) haha. Hmph.

The Full Disclosure on Monty

Not every dog is lucky to have a safe and loving home. There are hundreds of dogs and cats out there in need of a loving family (like mine!). If you have room for 4 extra paws in your home, consider adoption an option.
