Someone at Advocate Creative must have reread Where the Red Fern Grows recently, because this six-minute video, made for the Humane Society of Silicon Valley's #MutualRescue campaign, punches the exact same spot in our hearts.
Using a mix of live footage and line-drawn animation, the video tells the story of Eric O'Grey, who kicked Type II Diabetes and other obesity-related health problems after adopting a shelter dog named Peety.
Their mutual transformation from overweight, middle-aged social recluses to happier, healthier beings is masterfully presented, with no false sentiment.
