The RSPCA is investigating the commercial after 286 viewers complained to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) that the dog appeared to have

been mistreated... "We have asked how it was filmed and have been told the dog was acting. But we are very disappointed that Volkswagen feel it necessary to portray a dog suffering to sell cars, whether it was genuine or staged."

She added that the dog should be wearing a harness while it is in the car, and should be travelling in the back of the vehicle.

The car firm..."The dogs are highly trained. They can do almost anything. They can shake if they are happy or excited - they were not scared," a spokeswoman said.

"There is a fantasy element to the advert. We would hope that just as when people see the dog singing, they know it's not real, when they see it shaking, they know it is not really scared."
