National Make A Dog’s Day

Subaru
Without a loving human, walks on the beach or playtime at the park are things an Underdog can only dream of.

That‘s why Subaru created National Make A Dog’s Day—to shine light on these older and special-needs dogs and encourage adoptions. This year’s campaign reflects on the profound loneliness they experience while waiting to be adopted, and the reward of welcoming one into your heart and home.
