_________________________________________________________________________________________ Dog Tested Dog ApprovedSubaru knows that the bond between a pet and their
person is forever. This year Subaru is working with two new stars Zelda
and Olive. These now adopted former rescue dogs are getting quite a following.
Olive
was adopted from a shelter in Denver, Colorado. She came from a litter
of six adorable, mixed breed puppies. Her favorite pastimes include
sneaking into bed, growling at squirrels, and running really fast
around the dining room table. When she's not hanging out with her
family, she can be found curled up with her favorite weasel squeaky toy
or stalking the neighbor's cat, Cinnamon.
Zelda
is a golden retriever mix. She was found as a stray in Kansas City
along with her mother and five siblings. After a month in foster care,
she was adopted by a young couple in Minneapolis, where she has been
living happily for the last five years. Zelda can spell "walk,"
"treat," and is currently working on "Czechoslovakia." Her favorite
haunt is the local dog park where she often outruns the likes of
whippets and greyhounds.

Subaru has launched a new ad 'funpaign' for the release of the NEW 2010 Subaru Outback. It highlights the ways owners of the all-wheel drive Subaru Outback use their vehicle to its fullest capabilities, and get dirty as they lead their active lives.
With a wink to the prowess of many home shopping channel products, the spot shows how Outback detergent can remove even the toughest of stains in an amazingly short time. Listing its powers, Outback detergent promises to rid clothes of: cricket foam, pond scum, tree sap, squirrel residue, fish slime, volcanic ash, musk, raccoon prints, Russian dressing and aggressive perspiration.
"Stinky" the spokes skunk was hired to bring a touch of the great outdoors to the commercial. Speaking from his studio trailer after filming, Stinky said: "I was thrilled to work with such a great outdoors brand as Subaru. There aren't too many roles for a working cartoon skunk since the days of the great Le Pew, so when this role came up I leapt at it. I am used to seeing Subarus on the trailheads where I live so I felt very at home with the brand. I hope to have the chance to work with Subaru again."
The infomercial, showing on www.outbackdetergent.com is well worth watching. Enjoy!
