In a new campaign for PetSmart Charities, comedian Dana Carvey reprises his iconic role on Saturday Night Live as the new King Charles III to implore audiences not to adopt a King Charles Spaniel amid Coronation fever, but instead adopt a shelter dog through PetSmart Charities.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cShelter dogs are incredibly loving dogs, and they\u2019ll treat you like royalty. Isn\u2019t that right, Linus?\u201d he says in the spot, before exclaiming, \u201cDog, save the king!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith millions of adoptable pets in need of homes, we knew we needed to think big to draw attention to this pressing issue,\u201d PetSmart Charities\u2019 president Aimee Gilbreath said in a statement. \u201cThere are few moments bigger than the coronation of a new king, and there is an urgent need for people with big love and a little extra space in their homes to adopt a new best friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new spot, which debuts across digital and social today, comes just one day before Coronation day, a regalia-heavy celebration that establishes Charles III as King of the United Kingdom. It will be the first such ceremony on British soil in 70 years.<\/p>\n
Carvey is known for playing then-Prince Charles in an SNL skit in 1993, in which he decides to become \u201cthe tampon in the trousers of the woman [he loves]\u201c \u2014 girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowles \u2014 instead of assuming the throne.<\/p>\n
The spot was developed by Ryan Reynolds\u2019 creative agency, Maximum Effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
