Missing Pet Advert Analysis

Explore how word choices and layout can persuade readers to notice an advert and take action.

Missing pet advert

MISSING DOG REWARD OFFERED Milo, our much-loved dog, has not come home since Friday evening. He is a handsome golden-brown spaniel with a white patch on his chest. Milo is gentle and enjoys meeting people. We are heartbroken without him and want our loyal companion back with us. Please keep an eye out and help Milo find his way home. Call Alex on 07700 900321 at any hour.

Understanding persuasive choices

Read the advert, then answer each question.

1.In the advert, what does “much-loved” tell you about Milo?
  • His family cares for him very much.
  • He is difficult to look after.
  • He has been missing for a long time.
2.What does “heartbroken” suggest about Milo’s family?
  • They are upset because Milo is missing.
  • They are pleased that Milo has gone out.
  • They are angry with people who have dogs.
3.Why might the writer describe Milo as “handsome”?
4.The heading says “MISSING DOG” in capital letters. How could this help the advert work?
5.The writer calls Milo a “loyal companion”. What feelings might this phrase encourage readers to have, and why?
6.Choose three words or phrases from the advert that show Milo is special to his family.
7.The advert offers a reward. Do you think offering a reward is helpful? Give a reason for your view.
8.Write a persuasive sentence for an advert about a missing pet. Include a word or phrase that could make readers care or take action.
