The Subaru Dog Adoption Commercial – The Dog, the Song, and More

I’m not crying, you’re crying. Subaru ads are perfectly designed to hit you right where it counts, aren’t they? Check out Subaru’s heartwarming commercial featuring a nervous dog and a patient parent. Then scroll down for the breed and more…


Subaru is good about presenting commercials showing what kind of people get Subarus. It’s not often about the size of the engine, torque, gas mileage, etc. It’s about the spirit of the brand. Truthfully, you can adopt a dog if you own a Honda, Chevrolet, or Lincoln, too. I bet Subaru would recommend adoption even if you don’t have a Subaru. In fact, they do! They sponsor “Make a Dog’s Day” which you can read more about here. Speaking of dogs, the one in the ad appears to a be a mix between boxer and pit bull (or some type of terrior). The brindle color is often seen with boxers and pit bulls, plus the ears and the muscular build lead me to believe it’s a mixed breed, which are usually the hardiest anyway! Good pup.


The Music. A wonderful song choice for the ad is from a singer/songwriter named Austin Basham. It’s his most popular song on Spotify (92,000,000+ streams) and now it’s part of a great Subaru commercial. Here’s the full track released in 2016 called “All Is Well.”


The ad was created by Carmichael Lynch (@carmichael_lynch). There’s also a 30-second version you can watch below.
