In the 2019 Super Bowl, Scout the Golden Retriever featured in an advertisement for WeatherTech and their PetComfort feeding system.
But this year, CEO David MacNeil paid $6 million dollars for a 30-second ad that didn’t promote his business. Rather, it featured Scout and the veterinary school in Wisconsin that saved his life.
