Never seen a dealer photograph a car with a dog in it. Not a good selling point IMO.

I can see some merit in having a dog in the pics if it is a big dog, and in the boot. That would Give some scale, and possibly reassure someone concerned that there might not be enough space for their own big dog.

But having a (bored looking) French Bulldog (I think?) salivating on the armrest?, not sure what the point is. Maybe the seller thinks it makes them quirky and characterful?.

I was amused by the previous owner being described as being a 'friend of the garage' :-)

Dog or no dog, it's still a nice looking car, even after nearly 20 years.

“ Last of the best looking BMWs.”

Looking maybe but not the best BMW. I nothing but trouble with every one of them that passed through my hands before I gave up trying. Even the two year old E46 Coupe I treated the boy racer in me to when I was 25 was a pig. Did look good though in dark grey metallic with half red leather.

Perhaps the dog is the friend and owner.

I've advertised my cars as from a non smoking, non pet owning family. They don't reek of tobacco smoke and smelly, wet dog!

119k below average mileage is the best selling point and not the accessory sitting in the passenger seat!

At first I thought it was a Pug.

I read the smelly dog comment to my Samoyed and she asked time to point out that Samoyeds are free of doggy odours. However she likes to destroy any slippers foolishly left around.

Well, someone liked it - the ad's now gone, so presumably it's sold.

Choosing a child seat can be a quite baffling experience – there are so many sizes, types, brands and price points available that you might not know where to start.
