Kito the advertising dog

July 28, 2017 5:30 AM

Kito has been in multiple advertising spots for Electrabel, a Belgian energy company, since this first ad. (All in Dutch.)

Kito's history.

Kito is papa. The making of the video.

Kito in the bathroom.

Kito doesn't get to watch footie.

Smart thermostat. Poor Kito.

Kito in the Home of the Future.

In the "Kito's History" link, the bicyclist doesn't appear to slow approaching the intersection. (Perhaps she knows it's cleared for filming?) KITO, though, looks for traffic!

He's handsome AND safety minded! Good doggo.

Rhodesian Ridgeback? He's a little small for one.

I thought the same thing, Bee's Wing. Maybe he's a mix?

Yes, that's the most modestly-sized Rhodesian I've ever seen.

But why would you take TV away from the puppo? He's bored and lonely without you.

At first glance at the dog I was thinking "Norwegian Ridgeback"—which is not the same thing at all.

"Norwegian Ridgeback"

Bred for hunting the ferocious cod.
