A lot of us enjoy the Farmers Insurance commercials, particularly when they include dogs. Remember this one? (insiders call it “Mer-Mutts”):

RPA created the commercial that debuted during 2016 Olympics coverage. Since the house was already flooded, Farmers and RPA also created a dog diving competition that you can see below, and it included several purebred dogs. Listen to the individual critiques of the canines on their not-so-spectacular dives here (they’re a hoot).

You might be interested to know that most of these Farmers commercials, including “Mer-Mutts” were rooted in actual claims submitted to the company. In the case of “mer-mutts,” it seems that after leaving their dogs at home for a few hours, a couple came home to find that their dogs had turned on the faucet in an already full kitchen sink. The water overflowed, and when the couple opened the front door, they found the dogs having fun and games in the flooded hallway.  Hear the agent who took the claim over the phone talk by clicking on “Watch the actual story” it at this link.
