As a participant in a recent expo, HAWS received some internet-stream advertising on a local radio station. While our actual commercial had to be abbreviated, the concept took us on a few tangents...our apologies to the restaurant personnel who didn't enjoy the creative process as much as we did!
"Mr. Sparkle Collar" - Unused Bits
REX: You look great, Rex. How's the new family?
SPIKE: They're the best. There's a couple of big ones and a couple of little ones...kinda loud, but I'm glad I found them at HAWS!
REX: I got a hiker - Dog, we are in the woods all the time! I'm glad I found him at HAWS, too. (Conspiratorially to SPIKE): Oh, great, here comes Mr. Sparkle-collar...
Mr. Sparkle Collar: Hey guys! What's a "HAWS"?
SPIKE: You WISH you knew about HAWS...
Mr. Sparkle Collar: Oh, HAWS - I have four of ‘em!
SPIKE: Those are paws, Mr. Pedigree... HAWS is the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha County.
REX: It's a great place to find your new family...
SPIKE: ...And to learn how to take care of your humans.
REX: You know the place - over by the airport in Waukesha.
Mr. Sparkle Collar: With all the big birds?
REX: Those are planes, fuzzhead!
SPIKE (quietly to REX): Clearly some over-breeding in this one...
REX: You know, Waukesha has grown so much that HAWS is growing, too.
SPIKE: I've heard that! I also heard that besides taking care of animals, more than 31,000 people visit HAWS each year...
Mr. Sparkle Collar: That's a lot of humans!
SPIKE: ...and a lot of ‘em are looking for dogs, cats and even small animals like iguanas.
Mr. Sparkle Collar (shudders): Iguanas scare me...
REX (quietly to SPIKE): His shadow scares him... [to Mr. Sparkle Collar] Iguanas are cool, even if they are bigger than you...
