Greedy dog can’t stop driver

Many schoolchildren over the years have rolled out the excuse about a dog eating their homework, but historically drivers would have been completely stumped if a pet had gobbled up their car keys.

This commercial for the Volkswagen Jetta shows the benefits of keyless technology after a bulldog watches his owner get ready to leave the house and is searching for his keys.

When he realises the dog has swallowed them, he has to carry the dog to the car but thankfully the car's remote key system means he can still drive and operate the vehicle’s functions – and head to the vets.

The 2013 advert adds another funny touch as it is soundtracked by Johnny Cash singing “that dirty old egg-sucking dog”.
