I’m not crying, you’re crying. The founder of a company called WeatherTech just paid $6 million for a Super Bowl ad that asks people to donate to the University of Wisconsin’s veterinary school after they saved his dog’s life. It’ll air sometime during the second quarter.
Scout was diagnosed with a tumor on his heart and was given a 1% chance to live. But thanks to the vets at University of Wisconsin’s School of Veterinary Medicine, the cancer treatments they gave him saved his LIFE. The tumor shrank so much, it basically disappeared.
Check out the ad in honor of those vets:
