The brief

A pet food ad told from the dog's point of view of dinner time. A sleepy golden retriever hears one sound and bursts into joyful action, ending with one clean bowl.

Visual style

Warm family-brand commercial, soft natural kitchen light, golden tones, slightly low camera at dog height, playful and clean.
