Motor-Mimicking Dog Commercials

The Volkswagen Dog Ad Features a Revved-Up Puppy

They say dogs are man's best friend, but in this Volkswagen dog commercial the pup seem more focused on the man's car than the man himself.

This Volkswagen dog commercial is interesting because it actually shows very little of the car until the very end. What makes this different is that a lot of car commercials show nothing but the car. Whether it's shots of the interior or action sequences to show off its performance and handling, the car is usually the focus. However, this commercial builds an experience for the viewer.

The dog sounds like he's growling as his owner takes him on a walk. His growls rev louder the faster he runs. You soon realize the dog is imitating the sound of the Volkswagen.
