This spot tells the tale of a dog owner taking his aging best friend on a road trip during which the canine’s bucket list is being fulfilled (eat a shoe, steak dinner, visit an ex-pooch girlfriend), all set to the tune of a Willie Nelson track.
Directed by Noam Murro of Biscuit Filmworks for agency Carmichael Lynch, Minneapolis, the commercial titled “Dream Weekend” is inspiring a social initiative by Subaru called #MakeADogsDay, an effort to prompt dog lovers to give thanks to their dogs by treating them to special moments.
