A Holiday Video for Dog Lovers From Bergdorf Goodman and the Humane Society.

Bergdorf Goodman goes to the dogs this year for its annual holiday video. Inspired by this year’s theme of the department store's holiday windows, “Carnival of the Animals,” (all of which are shown later in this post) BG Films presents “Unleashed,” a story about some of New York's most charismatic canines as they invade the store in search of a perfect gift for their owner.




Guest star, Salty, (shown below) steals the show with a special performance that will warm hearts of all animal lovers.



The four minute, 19 second video in its entirety, Unleashed:


The video was directed by Theo Stanley of HARBOR Film Company, with Creative Direction and Concept by Aidan Kemp, Vice President and Creative Director, Bergdorf Goodman.
