Product placement

Merced Police Department: ACTS - it is the agency investigating the case and taking the dog into protective custody. Removing it would change who is handling the case. Merced SPCA: ACTS - it is an organization that advocates for animals, and is thanked for its work in the case. Removing it would change who is being thanked. State Farm: APPEARS - it is a business name visible on a building in the background. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
