Purina Dog Food Ad with Raccoon Hunting Theme




Here's the kind of dog food ad you don't see anymore -- a Purina advertisement targetted to coon dogs.
In the picture, the raccoon is suspended on a wire trolley cage up a tree, and the dogs are taught to follow the raccoon and bay it up as it moves from one location to another. This is a training and trialing technique that is still used in the South.
