In the realm of Superbowl advertising, it was a Budweiser commercial that won over many viewers, thanks to some adorable puppies and a handsome horse. These dog-inspired ads and commercials also use the friendly fuzzy family pet to sell their products and services in funny, cute or unusual ways. Dogs are used to sell everything from cars to car insurance and antacids.
Dogs are often used to add humor and silliness to an ad or to create pathos and endear consumers to the product. Some of these commercials are silly and some are just downright heartwarming. No matter how canines are employed in advertising, the results are regularly memorable, as the Budweiser commercial Puppy Love has proven.
