This is a billboard advertisement in Tenerife showing a few Labrador puppies. The point is a local government drive to encourage people to pick up the mess made by their dogs. On the surface, it must mean "we don't want to go for a walk with you" but as advertising, it must have a more striking double meaning.
Anybody? :thinking:

Is contigo spelled as two words in the ad?

Maybe Tigo is the name of the dog or the person?
Is there any other legend in there?

I´m thinking that maybe the part that doesn´t want to (and shouldn´t) take that walk with the rest of us might in fact be the mess made by the dogs and not the dogs...:thinking::twocents:
You asked for double meaning...;)

Okay....and off the wall interpretation
Dogs/Puppies: We don't want to go for a walk with you
(if you're not going to pick up after us)....this is implied
I think that's what it means

Thanks all, I think it must be what they mean. It didn't occur to me that the puppies might be the subjects. Duh. :duh:
