Dodge Nitro struck a Dog Commercial
Fortunately it only happens in a commercial which was shown recently in YouTube. The Dodge-Nitro Striking-A-Dog-with-electric bolt commercial has been running on YouTube for two weeks already. And according to people who have viewed the ad it was done in bad taste. As a matter of fact, a consumer has alerted Chrysler about the commercial saying that it's quite disturbing.

The commercial shows a dog sniffing the tire of the Nitro probably to find the perfect spot to leave his territorial mark unfortunately for the dog before it can even shower the Nitro's tire with his marking fluid an electric bolt coming from the truck struck the dog and set it into flames. This is the part of the commercial that viewers find rather disturbing especially those animal lovers.

By the way, seconds after the dog was hit by the electric bolt came flashing on the screen the "Dodge Nitro" name followed by a line of text of reading: "Charged with Adrenaline".

According to Chrysler's spokesman the commercial was created by a BBDO office based in Netherlands. The spokesman of BBDO New York has chosen not to comment on the matter. BBDO is a unit of Omnicom Group.
