Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know by now that the Canadian housing market has arguably gone to the dogs. So what better way to talk about the struggles of house hunting than through the eyes of a canine?

Against the backdrop of the stressful housing market, RBC has launched its latest “Someday” campaign, once again delving into the sometimes arduous journeys that its customers have to go on to make their dreams come true.

The new spot by BBDO uses a woman’s loyal pet to tell the backstory of how, with the help of a mortgage specialist from the bank, the pair made their transition from an apartment to their first house – complete with a backyard (and potential girlfriend) for the narrator.
