The group that saved Scout’s life, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine will have a massive spotlight shone on the great work they have accomplished in front of a massive audience thanks to the TV spot.
When the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s veterinary school saved Scout’s life, owner David MacNeil thanked it in a major way: He landed them a spot in the big game.
You may have seen the ad already. Or heard about it. It features a 7-year old golden retriever named Scout who was treated for a tumor on his heart at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine.
The university considers itself pretty lucky, too. “This is an amazing opportunity not only for the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine, but for veterinary medicine worldwide,” said UW veterinary school Dean Mark Markel, DVM, PhD, DACVS. “So much of what’s known globally today about how best to diagnose and treat devastating diseases such as cancer originated in veterinary medicine.”
School of Veterinary Medicine dean Mark Markel reckons the advert will go a long way in promoting everything they do.”This is an amazing opportunity not only for the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the School of Veterinary Medicine, but for veterinary medicine worldwide,” he said.
“Much of Madison’s transportation planning discussion centers on highway improvements, but alternative transportation is making inroads.

Scout is a very lucky 7-year-old golden retriever. Like all to many dogs of the breed, he suffered from cancer as he approached canine middle age, and veterinarians initially estimated he had only about a 1 percent chance for survival. He’s still around and kicking thanks to the efforts of professionals at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Veterinary Medicine.
Made In America: Weathertech
UW-Madison published Tuesday its first campus-wide policy for research assistants, the largest group of graduate student workers on campus whose work conditions are under heightened public scrutiny.
David MacNeil was so grateful to University of Wisconsin-Madison’s veterinary school for saving his dog Scout’s life that he’s thanking them in the biggest way possible — with a Super Bowl ad!
Fortunately, Scout was taken for treatment at The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, where heroic staff put together a cutting-edge treatment plan to shrink Scout’s tumour, with incredible results.
Scout was eventually brought to University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM) where he immediately underwent chemotherapy and radiation to target the tumour on his heart.
MacNeil’s family took Scout to the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where an intense, experimental procedure consisting of chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy shrank the tumor to nearly nothing, according to the university.
WeatherTech CEO David MacNeil is grateful that veterinarians saved his dog from a deadly form of cancer. He bough a Super Bowl ad to thank the veterinary school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
’Scout’s story is amazing. There is nothing like this… certainly not for a school of medicine’ UW Dean says.
The spot, ’Lucky Dog,’ features WeatherTech’s beloved and unofficial mascot, Scout, telling the story of his journey from a devastating cancer diagnosis, to going through aggressive treatments that have helped get him back on his paws. It celebrates the work and research being done at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.
The Bolingbrook-based manufacturer of automotive accessories tells the tale of the company mascot’s battle with cancer in a new Super Bowl commercial.
I’m a sucker for dogs in Super Bowl commercials (remember the Budweiser dogs?!?) and WeatherTech is going to have people talking about this ‘Lucky Dog’ ad that’s designed to drive donations to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s veterinary school.
The spot, “Lucky Dog,” features WeatherTech’s beloved and unofficial mascot, Scout, telling the story of his journey from a devastating cancer diagnosis, to going through aggressive treatments that have helped get him back on his paws. It celebrates the work and research being done at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. The ad also hopes to inspire millions of animal lovers to support the school’s research efforts that will ultimately save not only dogs, but pets and even humans, from life-threatening diseases.
So he took Scout to the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where MacNeil says they implemented an aggressive treatment program.
But MacNeil, who had lost three other dogs to cancer before adopting Scout, refused to accept that diagnosis. On the advice of his local vet, he rushed his dog up from WeatherTech’s Bolingbrook, Illinois, headquarters to the University of Wisconsin’s flagship campus in Madison the very next morning. There, doctors at the School of Veterinary Medicine began an aggressive attack on the tumor that had invaded Scout’s body.
Scout may be an Illinois dog (and essentially the face of Illinois-based WeatherTech), but he’s going national to support the University of Wisconsin’s School of Veterinary Medicine during the Super Bowl.
After David MacNeil’s dog collapsed last July and was given a grim cancer diagnosis with a life expectancy of one month, he took the 7-year-old golden retriever named Scout to the University of Wisconsin at Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, hoping for a minor medical miracle.
“Scout’s illness devastated us,” MacNeil said. “We wanted this year’s Super Bowl effort to not only raise awareness, but also financial support for the incredible research and innovative treatments happening at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine, where Scout is still a patient.”
