Purina launched a huge activation, Find Your Old Friend, with the release of an emotional short film created by the Martin Agency.

There’s a bond between people and animals that is indescribable. It’s really no different with horses. But, unlike dogs and cats, horses often move on to other homes. Costs or college, life happens and the kids that grow up with them often have to say goodbye at some point.

In the film, April & Dixie, the agency tried to capture some of that feeling and remind people that an equine friend from their past may be out there still.

The launch of Purina’s FindYourOldFriend.com offers a potential way to reconnect. Through Purina’s social channels and hundreds of regional Facebook ads, the company hopes to bring horses and their previous owners back together to tell true stories of their reunions.
