We analyze the effect of the widespread marketing of by pet care industry products on the human animals bond in families. We study the advertisements for pets owners broadcast on the Internet in Brazil. Marketing stimulates the animal humanization in order to induce the consumption, which does not preclude the emergence of genuine feelings and emotions in people and animals daily living in families, due to the sentimental anthropomorphism process.Downloads
