The "lost and found dog" that is in a video for the Dutch airline KLM does not actually do work for the company. The video was advertising a dog who sniffed misplaced objects, and returned the items to their rightful owners. The world loved the adorable dog, but learned on a Wednesday that the dog in the video is not connected with the airline at all. It was only in the ad for marketing purposes.
I think that the situation is disappointing. I say this because many family's, especially children adore this dog, and thought it was really connected to its airline while doing really important work. But then everyone realized that it was only in it for the sake of attracting people to it so the airline could get more customers. This is bad because everyone then found out that the airline is just using this adorable dog to get customers which give the workers more money. Although this puppy is very cute, it is not in the airport for the most appropriate purpose.
We should care about this dilemma because this dog is attracting people to give more money to one airline which for one it is not fair to other airlines, and two, it is a bad way to use and treat such a wonderful animal. I think that even though everyone loved this animal, it was good that the people found out that it was for marketing purposes. I say this because now people will not get attracted to one airline just because of one cute dog. Also, I feel that maybe the airline should get fined or punished somehow for basically bribing people to use their company and give them money.
