shared-ads.pngWhat makes someone share an ad? Apparently, anything that includes a dog or soccer stars or an ad that makes you break down in tears at your desk.

Unruly recently released its annual list of the most viral videos of the year, with Android's commercial featuring interspecies friendships set to music from Disney's Robin Hood at the top. In second place is the three-minute spot from Buzzfeed and Purina, which was meant to drive viewers to Purina's content-focused Welcome to Puppyhood site. In total, the list features three dogs, one cat, four soccer-focused ads, and eight ads promoting good causes.
