Dogs and Cats : Every evening, right before you’re about to switch off the television and go to bed, your pooch enters the living room. It sprawls out on the floor and seems to be watching TV.

The ad used high-frequency sounds that were inaudible to human ears but easily detectable by dogs. While the idea seemed promising, most dogs showed no reaction to the commercial.

Dogs perceive the world in shades of yellow and blue and have a faster video frame rate requirement compared to humans.
