Nothing like a showcasing the bond between people and animals to make a killer commercial.
Thanks for ruining my makeup this morning, Budweiser ad guys!
It’s hard to imagine improving upon those majestic Clydesdale horses that Budweiser so beautifully shows off in their annual Super Bowl ads. But adding a puppy to the mix — a yellow Labrador puppy — definitely amps up the “awww” factor exponentially. This year’s Budweiser commercial is especially meaningful because I’ve got a special yellow Labrador that shares my life, my Tango. That cute little yellow Labrador in the picture above is my Tango when he was being raised to be a service dog.
It seems that I’m always turning in a service puppy a month or so before the Super Bowl and maybe that’s why I’m especially vulnerable (and dissolve into sobs) when I see these commercials.
This year’s commercial (below) is pretty amazing:

Last year’s commercial hit me especially hard because I’d just turned in yet another puppy and was feeling the post turn-in blues. Last year’s commercial really gets the bond between people and animals and is good in it’s own right:

What do you think?
Another hit for Budweiser? What are some of your favorite animal themed commercials?
