白戸次郎 お父さん犬 お父さん
Starting in 2007, [[SoftBank]] began a series of commericals that revolved around the "Shirato family":https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/白戸家 to advertise its "White Family plan":https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ホワイトプラン. "Ueto Aya":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aya_Ueto and "Dante Carver":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Carver play siblings and "Higuchi Kanako":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanako_Higuchi plays the mother. The father, Shirato Jiro, is a talking dog played by Kai, a white "Hokkaido dog":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkaido_%28dog%29. Jiro is mostly called "Otousan" by his family, so on Pixiv, users tend to tag the appearance of the dog with the お父さん tag. 

The Shirato family commericals often have famous guest stars, who generally act as relatives of the family. For example, this "one":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOg3nBRp6A0 has Quentin Tarantino and this "one":https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImALuNp3PQ8 has Tommy Lee Jones.
