What is the pet success story trend, and how do you make one?

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

A pet success story video shows an animal living a human life, with a job, a car and a house. It works because the contrast is funny and the story is easy to follow. In Rift, add a photo of your pet, tell Spark the career, check the Draft and tap Make for a video of up to 15 seconds.

Add a photo of your pet and tell Spark the career. Rift makes one clip of the pet living a human life.

Questions people ask

Does the pet have to be a cat or dog?

No. Rabbits, parrots and hamsters work as long as the photo is sharp.

Do I need to film my pet?

No. One clear photo is enough.

Can I show the pet getting older?

Yes. Say the stages, such as a puppy, a student and a boss.

Can the pet drive a car?

In the video, yes. Name the car and the road.

Can I give my pet a different job?

Yes. Tell Spark the career in your line, then check the Draft.
