History has shown that society has always loved dogs, but in recent years, research indicates that society’s love of dogs is spreading at an accelerated rate. The fact is, this surge in society’s dog-centricity may reflect a definitive change in the cultural landscape. A new definition of family is evidently emerging, and the family dog–now more than ever–is positioned at the centre of family life. This research project tracks dogs through their representation in print advertising as a reflection of their changing roles within society while, at the same time, illuminating our evolving perceptions of family and our own human needs. Your keen sense of design and advertising savvy would help provide valuable insight on this subject.

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and is filled with a variety of advertising samples for your enjoyment. Thank you for taking part and ensuring this project has not gone completely to the dogs!
