Product placement
LongDogArt ACTS - it is the name of the artist and appears as a watermark on all images, suggesting it is the brand under which the art is produced. Removing it would change the visual identity of the art. The creator's bio link is to a Shopify store selling art and pet portraits, which is the product being promoted. The Webkinz box APPEARS in the third image, but it is not the focus of the video and its removal would not change the video's narrative. The MLP character in the second image is a character, not a product being sold.
