Playful Puppy-Powered Contraptions

The Beneful Dog Goldberg Machine Gets Creatively Elaborate

Brought to you by Purina Beneful, the Dog Goldberg Machine features playful pups as the main components, powering the dog food contraption into action.

Full of activities that dogs love to do such as playing fetch, running at the sound of the doorbell, wagging their tails and catching frisbees, this commercial for dog food certainly stands behind the brand's mission statement, "Play. It's good for you." Throughout the video, different dog food products, including canned foods and treats, are displayed with the Beneful logo prevalent on each of the many tennis balls so that the company name is never far from the minds of the viewers.

Pet-lovers will enjoy the playful video featuring man's best friend in the Dog Goldberg Machine, and no one can resist a wagon full of puppies.
