If You Love Dogs and Christmas and Dinner ... You'll Love This Video

The folks at Freshpet, purveyor of pet food, shot this video ad of 13 shelter dogs and a cat eating Christmas dinner and posted it to YouTube on Dec. 15: “Many of these pets joined us from the Humane Society of Utah, one of our partner rescues. It was incredibly important to us to include dogs and cats from the rescue community to highlight just how amazing they are: beautiful, loving, and often incredibly well behaved.”

It’s been seen 3.4 million times.
