Cat & Dog vacuum cleaner



In Brussels, this ad can be seen on the back of every bus, at every bus stop, in every metro station, in every magazine or newspaper. It's everywhere. Now unless you are into vacuum cleaners, this ad would go unnoticed, I am sure. It caught my eye and the only reason is the picture of the dogs. The big hairy one is a Briard like Rokedi who belongs to my 89 year old friend.


The ad is for a MIELE Cat & Dog TT 5000 Cylinder vacuum cleaner and if you are a vacuum cleaner nerd, then please read on:

Well maybe the ad on the back of the bus will sell some vacuums because the other is gives one a headache just looking at it.
