"Dog's View", also called "Talking Dog", is a 2007 anti-cannabis public service announcement (PSA) created by the United States Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) as part of the Above the Influence campaign. The PSA features a dog who sits down at a kitchen counter and asks a teenage girl if she might be smoking too much marijuana. It was one of several ONDCP PSAs shown to increase cannabis consumption in teens.[1] The teenage girl was played by Brittany Curran.[2]

It has been the subject of numerous parodies and critiques, including a Joe Rogan stand-up routine, and a 2008 parody by CollegeHumor featuring Aubrey Plaza who resembles the actress in the original.[3][2] The original PSA acquired over 1.1 million views on YouTube between its upload in 2008 and 2017.[3] In 2011, Adweek profiled the PSA as one of ten that "make you want to take drugs".[4] In 2018, it was ranked by High Times as one of the top six worst anti-cannabis ads, "hilariously inaccurate".[5]
