Dr. Pepper's New Mop Dog Ad Features An Adorable Puli

Man’s best friend demonstrates the power of love in the touching spot “Mop Dog” for Dr. Pepper, directed by Imperial Woodpecker’s Simon McQuoid and edited by Cut+Run’s Steve Gandolfi for agency Deutsch LA. Here, a dreadlocked dog finds a friend and ultimately a home on the road with a big-hearted Dr. Pepper driver who understands that you should “always be one of a kind.

The dog featured in the commercial is actually a Puli, a sheep herding breed originally from Hungary that are known for naturally-forming dreadlocks called cords.
