When GoDaddy revealed last year that its 2015 Super Bowl ad would be starring a nine-week-old puppy named Buddy, viewers could never have anticipated the cruel twist it would take. The domain name company released the advert on Tuesday - five days before it will be viewed by more than 100 million people during the Patriots and Seahawks game - and it was met with outrage. The advert opens with the golden retriever puppy  riding in the back of a truck, as it parodies Budweiser's commercials featuring a dog and its Clydesdale horses. But instead of enjoying the view, Buddy is thrown from the bed of the truck and he faces a treacherous journey home across train tracks and bridges and through mud and rain.
