Male: Oh Max, We go everywhere together,
right boy?
Female: At Petstuffers we know there's
nothing more then a relationship
between man and his dog, sometimes
you just can't let go.
Male: Max you didn't eat your food that's
the second week in a row, Max.
Female: When the unspeakable happens just
put your four legged friend in the
fridge or freezer, then call
Petstuffers. We'll be there within
a week to pick him up, and in less
than a month he'll be back good as
new. Through and ancient Egyptian
miracle process called Taxidermy,
you and your best friend will always
be together.
Male: Yea, that's a good dog.
Female: Petstuffers: when you just can't let
go, and coming soon Grandparents
forever!
Original HN comment content before I pruned it down:
Part of the deal of having a pet is living with the knowledge that you'll probably outlive them. Naturally it's is super sad when they pass, but it's always been part of the deal.
It's difficult for me not to come to grips with people spending $100k to avoid or soften the temporary discomfort of mourning their pet, then proceeding to house the imposter of the original dog friend. Descriptive characteristics that come to mind: selfish, too attached, too much money, creepy.
This is very close to being a real life form of the "PetStuffers" radio ad in Grand Theft Auto [0]!
