Vancouver dog stars in Super Bowl ad alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin

Three years ago Sunday, Tanner Ebach took Memphis home as a puppy and soon came to love her calming attitude. Little did she know her dog was destined for fame.

After her first gig in a Sephora Christmas commercial, the three-year-old pup landed the Kawasaki Ridge vehicle “Big Game” ad, which was shot in Vancouver.
