Furry heroes

Purina barks out a tune.

Musical collaborations to raise funds for deserving organizations are nothing new. Neither is tapping adorable animals or pets for a cause. But this is the first time that we know of where the two are blended together for a campaign. Purina, pet cancer organization Pet Trust and Red Urban created the music video, complete with slow motion lens flares, to raise funds to fight the animal disease. It feels so totally “internet,” despite the severe lack of cats in the video (only one at our count). And, should you really enjoy the tune, it’s available for purchase on iTunes.
