The Tradition Continues – Best Buds
The best Super Bowl moment has already been released: you can watch it here. Again it stars those unforgettable Budweiser Clydesdale horses but this year also introduces a lovable yellow Labrador Retriever puppy in a commercial called “Puppy Love.”
This will be the 24th Super Bowl since 1986 that Budweiser has had a spot on this most-watched TV show and the moments are just more and more memorable each year. I recall last year’s “Brotherhood” when a horse trainer and his Clydesdale are reunited.

The first day “Puppy Love” was released, it was viewed more than 17 million times. I don’t recall when I first saw it, but I just can’t stop watching it. And at least 25 people sent it to me on Facebook alone!
The horse trainer, actor Don Jeanes, appeared in “Transformers” as Neil Armstrong and is very ‘easy on the eyes,’ as is the Lab raiser herself, former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, Melissa Keller.

More than 60 scenes were filmed for the spot and I’m sure you will agree that all that trouble was worth it! (It also took a ‘litter’ of labs – eight in all)
As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if some non-football fans tune in just to watch “Puppy Love!”
As for the game itself, if I hadn’t been born in Washington or hadn’t graduated from the Big Bad U in Seattle (the University of Washington), I would root for the Cowboys.
