Subaru has a new favorite family to introduce to the world: The Barkleys. They’re the average American family, with a mom, dad, and two kids. They like to go on road trips to explore and drive safely while enjoying their time together. Just one thing sets them apart: they’re dogs! With Dad and Mom, Auggie and Stevie, older sister Sadie and little brother Sebastian, they’re a special part of the Subaru family. You can find out more about them on their website.   

Subaru has four new ads featuring the Barkley family: 

           

The Barkleys may be a little different from the average family, but they run into many of the same situations as the rest of us. From teenagers pushing the envelope to pit stops at convenience stores along the route, the Barkleys run into some of the same problems as a human family.   

Subaru cares about the average dog, too. Dogs need to get out and sniff regularly, and not many of them can take a Subaru for a drive. Subaru has teamed up with MapMyFitness to create a MapMyDogWalk app just for you and your dog. Available on iTunes  and Google Play, this dog tested, dog approved app allows you to track your dog walks, sync with the MapMyWalk website to track your progress, calories, and workouts, and take photos of yourself and your pet along the way.   Talking your dog for walks is important to the well-being and health of your dog and Subaru wants to give you the tools to make your dog walk the best as it can be. 

Next time you’re looking for something to do on the weekend, pile the family in your Subaru, including the dog, and hit the trail. You can use the MapMyDogWalk app to track your progress and find great walks for the future.
