The film received over a million views on Youtube in its first week. We prepared a special making-of in order to generate a second wave of PR.
We put an actor on the film set, playing the supposedly 'real' owner of the dog, acting like a pain in the ass. We never told the crew members that this man was an actor, so the reactions to his annoying behaviour are genuine.
We created another film when Das Hund was shortlisted for 'De Gouden Loeki' (best Dutch-language TV award). The supposedly 'real' owner of the dog asked people NOT to vote for VW, since his dog had already gone so mad due to all the popularity.
