The cute puppy and his majestic Clydesdale friend are back for Super Bowl XLIX, starring in a sequel to the Budweiser commercial that was last year’s Ad Meter winner for best Super Sunday commercial.
The 2015 version is a lot like the the touching 2014 commercial and why not — everyone loved that one. While an emo cover of The Proclaimers I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) plays in the background, the puppy becomes separated from his owner and horse pal while accidentally boarding a horse trailer.
His best buddy, the Clydesdale, sense a disturbance in the force and gets unruly with his trainer, who soon realizes the dog, who managed to escape during a traffic accident, is missing.
The puppy journeys through rain, fields and forests while the owner puts up “lost dog” signs and you’re wondering what the commercial would sound like with the actual Proclaimers song playing in the background.
Suddenly the puppy gets close to the house while danger occurs. You’ll have to watch to see what happens next, but I bet you can guess.
It’s another heart warmer that has absolutely nothing to do with the product it’s selling. Now go get a tissue and wipe away those tears.
