Description
Working with Patti Page’s songwriter Chris Gantry, and The Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA Singapore), we released “Do You See That Doggie in the Shelter?” globally.
We produced a children's book and a sing-long video, starring real life shelter animals from SPCA Singapore. And with these, we started teaching the song to children everywhere.
Execution

In less than 5 months, the book has been incorporated into the programmes of over 50 preschools and primary schools. It is being used in tandem with the sing-along video to teach children the song and about the importance of adoption, in Singapore, Australia, Canada and the USA.

The sing-along video has been broadcast on both channels to children in 10 countries; including the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia.
