In the midst of GoDaddy’s Puppygate and Budweiser’s online marketing blitz for its upcoming Super Bowl Lost Dog ad, Dr. Pepper also has a commercial centered around a dog.
But instead of an adorable golden retriever, the beverage company is focusing on a Puli, a dreadlock dog that is ranked the 135th most popular breed (as opposed to the No. 3 position the golden holds). With the tagline “Always be one of a kind,” the commercial begins with a shot of a dog abandoned at a truck stop with just a cardboard box. As he tries to find his way in life, things aren’t looking up for the little guy. Well, that is until he meets a Dr. Pepper delivery man (played by Krazy-8 from Breaking Bad).
