Dogs, cat eat Christmas dinner with human hands in their holiday best

And you thought your pets were well-behaved.

When these 13 dogs (and one cat) sat down for a holiday feast, the furry friends were on good behaviour and dressed in their festive best: Clinking glasses, eating with forks and knives, and generally even eating off their own plates.

(Of course, in even the classiest groups of diners there’s likely to be an at-the-table texter and a cutlery-pilferer. No family’s perfect.)

The adorable feast was created by Provo-based company ShareAbility for Freshpet, a pet-food company that believes pets should have fresh, real food just like their owners.

To create the spot, ShareAbility recruited rescue animals from the Humane Society of Utah in an effort to promote the adoption of these beautiful — and apparently party-trained — dogs and cat.

Spencer Streuper from ShareAbility called the commercialone of the craziest but most rewarding shoots we have ever done.”

"The hardest videos to execute usually end up being the best videos. We decided to push the limits and go for it where many may have said it's just too hard," said co-founder and CEO of ShareAbility, Cameron Manwaring, in an emailed statement.

“We were nervous going into it, and it was so chaotic, but everyone was so well behaved. No fights," Manwaring told Mashable.

According to Freshpet:

In support of the great work the Humane Society of Utah does every day for animals, we will be covering the cost of adoption fees for the wonderful dogs and cats featured in our video. We will also be giving their new families a supply of Freshpet food to get them started.”

Of the 14 animals featured in the spot, only two of them are still awaiting adoption: Lion the cat and Bear the pit bull terrier mix. Learn more about the animals on the Humane Society of Utah’s Facebook page
