A worthy heir to 'Fred the Shred' ...


I want to complain to the advertising standards watchdog!

How dare the Royal Bank of Scotland exploit a dear cute little pup in order to sell its products. And how dare they besmirch the good name of dogs in general in order to perpetrate myths that we cause problems for our humans.

As if!

Oh. Is that a chewed card you've found there Gail?

Absolutely nothing to do with me ....

PS from Gail for non-UK readers: 'Fred the Shred' is the nickname given to Fred Goodwin, former CEO of the Royal Bank of Scotland, who in 2008 presided over the biggest annual loss in British corporate history (£24 billion).

  1. Oh Bertie I so agree with you! How dare they point fingers at us for chewing THERE things! Why it is all their fault you know. I say if they don't want it chewed then it shouldn't be on the floor!

    See you at the Pawm!

    woos, Tessa

  2. How dare they suggest such a thing? Absolutely slanderous!

    We think the card delivered to your house must have been damaged in the mail.

    Have a good weekend

  3. Disgraceful Bertie! I notice good old specsavers or some such place is also dirtying the good dog image showing a pair of glasses being chewed. I mean, I only did that the one time!

  10. It's a set up for sure Bertie. And to mention you in the same breath as Fred... that deserves a good toe licking.

  17. Oh Bertie, you should never chew the cards. Don't you know why? Everytimme the Mama goes to buy toys or treats or anything good, she has to show them that card. It must have the secret password written on it or something. If your Gail had no password card, how would you ge cool new stuff?!?!?

  20. We suspect Tony "I want my life back" Hayward who as CEO presided over the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year is giving old Fred a run for the 'biggest corporate loser' title. And BP managed to not only lose billions [with more in the offing], but to kill 11 people and God knows how much marine life - including scores of baby dophins born in the Gulf in 2010.

    On the more serious charge of doggie libel, we naturally agree with you. If the hu-apes want something 'off limits' to our natural playful impulses, it is their responsibility to put it safely away. That's like Article 1.7 of the human-canine contract.
