in july, 2000, taco bell ended the chihuahua advertisements, ended its relationship with their creator tbwa, and replaced the company's president, after same-store sales fell by 6% in the second quarter of 2000, the largest such decline in taco bell history. it was incorrectly rumored that taco bell ended the commercials because the dog died. some latin americans accused the dog of being a cultural stereotype, and tom kenny, who is a friend of carlos alazraqui (who was the voice of the taco bell chihuahua), said that hispanic advocacy groups lobbying for the end of the campaign led to the cancellation of the taco bell dog. other reports say the use of the dog was discontinued because it failed to increase taco bell's revenue stream in spite of the dog's popularity.
