Kleenex's 'Unlikely Best Friends' video is the newest from its Messages of Care campaign. As a tissue brand, it's fitting that tear-triggering commercials are produced and this one is definitely no exception.
This story tells of Chance, a dog that was hit by a car and left for dead at the side of the road. Luckily, the dog survived, but he was left paraplegic and now requires a special harness to help him get around.
Chance found a best friend in an owner who is also paraplegic and requires a wheelchair to get around. Despite the challenges they share, the pair is as active as ever and does not let physical handicaps get in their way.
