Woof in Advertising: Loyal companions
Subaru has done it again.
This heartwarming commercial follows a young man over the years, making the point that, whatever else might change, his two most loyal companions do not — his chocolate Lab and his Subaru.
There’s something about seeing the Lab go from a pup to a grey-muzzled senior that reminds us of the true meaning of loyalty, and might even make some of us tear up.
Of course, a car’s not really capable of loyalty. But we humans are.
So Subaru — doing it well and doing it often — continues in its advertising to seize upon what’s probably the best symbol for loyalty there is: the dog.
And more often than not, it works.

One of their best so far (I think the puppy is especially adorable), but I doubt that their commercials could ever entice me to by one of their cars. Not because there is anything wrong with them per se, but because I firmly believe (especially in this economy) that we should all “Buy American” whenever possible. And secondly, because the cynic in me dislikes the attempt to parlay the special relationship between human and dog into a cash transaction
