Thai Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) promoted pet adoption in 2007 with a print advertising campaign featuring the tag line, “Know what it’s like to be worshipped. Adopt a dog”. Three advertisements, Couch, Walkies and Sticks, appeared in newspapers showing men and women in religious environments, receiving the adoration of angelic dogs with wings.
