CHERRY HILL, N.J., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the return of its "Dog Tested. Dog Approved." campaign.  The venerable canine commercials return for a third year with a new pack of dogs and social activities.  When players take the field on Sunday, Feb. 5, Subaru owners and their four legged friends will hit the streets for the second annual Subaru Game Day Dog Walk event by taking the pledge at http://www.facebook.com/subaruofamerica.

"Dogs have always been a large part of Subaru culture; we also know that dogs play a significant role in the lives of our owners," said Alan Bethke, director, marketing communications, Subaru of America.  "The Subaru Game Day Dog Walk and new social apps are a natural extension of our brand's active culture and further allow dogs to be our owners' social lifestyle partners."

Subaru is taking an alternative, more social approach to the big game this Sunday than other brands.  For example, Subaru partnered with MapMyFITNESS to launch the MapMyDOGWALK mobile application for iPhone.  MapMyDOGWALK provides dog owners with access to an innovative geo-mapping application that allows users to track and store their daily walking routes in an online database.  Users will also have access to a searchable database of millions of routes across the globe, fitness calculators, dog event listings, and a dynamic social network of healthy and active individuals and their four-legged friends.

Canine social networking site Dogbook rolls out with an all-new design and Subaru integration.  The Dogbook Facebook application boasts all-new "Dogline" features: larger profile pictures, bigger news feed photos, a new My Life Story section, a Dog Years Calculator and customizable My Favorites Sections.  Also included in the update are a Happy Birthday Video feature and a faster high definition photo uploader.

"Last year 88,000 dog owners took the Subaru Game Day Dog Walk pledge on Facebook," said Bethke.  "This year our owners have two new social tools and four new Dog Tested videos to accompany their canine activities."

Dog Tested. Dog Approved.

The campaign is designed to resonate with Subaru owners and like-minded consumers.  Subaru drivers are two times more likely than the average car owner to have a pet.  In fact, seven out of ten Subaru drivers have a pet, and Subaru owners are also more likely to engage in skiing, camping, boating and other sporting activities.  To reflect these passions, those activities are depicted in the four new Dog Tested commercials.

"The Dog Tested spots have always been about highlighting funny and interesting car situations by using dogs instead of people.  This year we continue that theme with a focus on the lifestyle of Subaru owners starring an amazing pack of dogs."
