True Friends for Life

A dog is truly a man’s best friend.

This IAMS commercial shows the story of a boy and his buddy, his dog “Duck.” It first shows his younger days, when he runs off to school as a little boy with Duck trailing behind. He really loves his dog and spends countless hours reading to him, talking to him, and playing with him. The dog returns the favor and appears to him during a baseball game when he is down about something, and cheers him up.

Then it fast forwards to his prom, where Duck interrupts his date night by climbing into the car recklessly. The next scene has a girl ask the boy about the origins of the name, and it is revealed that while he was little he misheard the name “Duke” for “Duck,” thus giving his puppy friend that name. It then flashes back on all the good moments spent with the dog, and ends on a positive note with the message “Good for Life” on the screen.

Try not to get emotional and/or cry. But yes, the box of tissues is on your left in case you need it.
