    I think this ad is targeting adults that might drink and drive. Showing the dog waiting for his owner to return, getting excited everything he sees lights coming up the road, etc., makes the viewer feel sad for the dog. I think the commercial is especially effective because it shows the owner returning to his home the next day and greeting the dog. He tells the dog that he stayed at a friend's house so he didn't have to drive. Many people that have pets can relate to this and wouldn't want to upset the animal that relies solely on you.
