WISCONSIN — Scout MacNeil, the doggy face of WeatherTech, has died after a long battle with cancer.
The MacNeil family shared the news on Scout's Instagram page Sunday night.
Scout was featured in many WeatherTech ads, including a SuperBowl ad that got a lot of attention after airing.
He was also apart of the UW-Madison veterinary school family, as that's where he was treated. According to the Instagram post, the doctors fought valiantly to save Scout.
In the past weeks, Scout's tumors began to bleed around his heart and lungs. The doctors did everything they could to stop it but Scout's quality of life had "seriously declined," according to the post.
Following his passing, the University of Wisconsin Veterinary school released a statement saying, "Scout touched many lives and we share our condolences with all who feel his loss. We will proudly carry on Scout’s legacy and his shining spirit."
From all of as at TMJ4 News, rest in peace Scout. We express our deepest condolences to Scout's family.
