Upon reviewing the very phony sounding story of a woman and her whippets, it reminded me of another well used and therefore researched element or technique used in psyop scripting.
The use of animals, specifically dogs, has “scientifically” been shown to evoke the greatest emotion from people. I would argue that assigning a cute or friendly name to said animal adds an extra dimension of emotion evocation.
Have you ever noticed that people seem to cry more when a dog dies in a movie than when a person does? There’s now some science to back that up.
Researchers have found people get more emotional reading a story about a beating if the victim is a dog rather than an adult human.
