Hello all you early Christmas shoppers! Amazon loves needs you and to show it, they have a commercial featuring a cute little pup named Rufus. Rufus shreds the downhill. They also call on the familiar voice from previous commercials going way back to this Greek mythology Medusa ad. Find out the actress behind the voice here. Now, let’s take a look at the holiday ad before revealing more about it…
Rufus the Dog. At first glance, I’d say Rufus is some kind of spaniel. Whatever he is, he’s adventurous, athletic, and warm thanks to the vest Amy bought him. Check out similar winter vests found on Amazon. Amazon has a history with dogs and I haven’t confirmed this but based on the company’s history, I think using the name Rufus was very much on purpose. Early on at Amazon, a couple brought their dog with them to work. Here’s more…
The Music. Playing in the background of the commercial is the first few seconds of the Ludacris song, “Saturday (Oooh! Ooooh!)”. Not his best song (we all know his best is “Yeah!” with Usher) but it works well in the Amazon ad.
Does the commercial get you in the Christmas spirit? Either way, they definitely got one thing right: Dogs rule!

Rufus looks like a Kokoni-cross. Look it up if you’ve never heard of them. They’re only recognized as a breed by the Greek Kennel Club apparently.
