It's a bright sunny morning at the park.
Dogs, puppies and their devoted owners gambol about in the golden sunshine barking and laughing while throwing and catching frisbees and tumbling together on the emerald green lawns.
The camera zooms in to a particular poochie - an irresistibly cute hound
who has just returned to its owner panting from the exertion of repeatedly fetching it's squeaky toy.
The dog raises its paw and places it on its owner's knee, whereupon the owner takes out a little package of paw-print shaped cookies - camera zooms in to show exquisitely moulded shape - and then the jingle chimes in: "Pause for a cookie....Cookie Paws!" .
Dog delightment all round.
[Except for the cookie, which might(or might not) end up in paw shape by the end of the commercial]

Is this cookie in the shape of a paw-print, or in the shape of a paw? The latter would be rather like you eating food that had been made to resemble a hand - i.e. slightly weird (and reminiscent of Jan Švankmajer's 1992 film "Food") |

Stupid enough to be acceptable. Approved! + |

[a1] I note that the shop you've linked to is also confused by the difference between 'paw-shaped' and 'pawprint-shaped'. I think we should launch a class-action lawsuit against them and retire on our inevitable winnings. |

[a1] No, this isn't 'creative marketing'; they advertise "paw shaped biscuits" but the picture clearly shows pawprint-shaped biscuits; they've made an egregious and blatant attempt to mislead the innocent dog-biscuit-buying public. A pawprint is the very antithesis of a paw. |

//is the hole he leaves in the desert floor below "coyote-shaped" or "coyote-print shaped"?// - not a valid comparison; holes are two-dimensional (so the 2D shapes created by projections of a ‘thing’ or its ‘print’ would be identical) whereas paws and paw prints are three-dimensional |

I suppose if the woman who tried to dry her small dog in a microwave (with disastrous results) could sue the manufacturer for not stating in the manual that that would be ruinous to her pooches livelihood, and she won the case, then anything's possible in court. Hopefully the Cookie Paws Industrial Conglomerate International will pay out big time, because if it turns out it's just a little home industry producing these paw little cookie prints, you might be wasting your time. Not to mention the cost of canine-friendly attorneys.... |
