Budweiser tugs at the heart strings

I'm sure by now you've seen this adorable Budweiser ad that premiered at the Super Bowl.  A sweet sixty-second love story where a puppy brings people together and finds himself an owner.  (I only wish this was a shelter dog, then Bud could have helped promote those animals too.)

This three-day shoot, starred five Clydesdales and a litter of puppies to get all the shots.  It was directed by Jake Scott, son of the famed director Ridley Scott.

Apparently during the shoot, there was a "don't pet the puppies" clause because they were so young and the trainers couldn't take the puppies getting overly-excited and lose focus.  Looks like all the hard work paid off.
