Which Clydesdale and Dalmatian Commercial's Cuter?

Since my favorite commercial during last year's Super Bowl was Hank and his helper – I'm tearing up just remembering the sweetness – I was expecting big things from Budweiser again this year. Of the three spots featuring the famed horses, there was the Clydesdale immigrant from Scotland, the starcrossed lovers' horses with Daisy circus-bound and this cute clip of a fetching competition:


Since it also prominently starred a pup, I picked this clip to compare to last year's doggie horse trainer commercial (refresh your memory here), which furball-featured ad ranks higher with you?

Story Behind the Scenes: Clydesdales and Dalmatians

Dogs and horses, I'm sold!

Dogs and horses, I'm sold! Of all the Super Bowl hits and misses, I've gotta say that the Budweiser commercial of a horse with a dream topped my list. Off the bat, I love checking out these horses and their doggie pals — did you know that the Dalmatian was introduced to the traditional Budweiser Clydesdale procession on Mar. 30, 1950 to celebrate the opening of the Newark brewery?! These companions to the hitch had a vital role during the early days of brewing, they were trained to protect the horses and guard the wagons while the drivers went in to make their deliveries. Nowadays, they typically ride shotgun, perched atop the wagon next to the driver anytime the Budweiser Clydesdales make a public appearance — each hitch, hamlet, and theme park usually has two Dalmatians each!
