Baby Clydesdale to be Called...

She's still less than a month old, but she's already starred in one of the Super Bowl's most popular commercials. Now, after a social media campaign asking for name suggestions that generated 60,000 Tweets, Facebook posts and other messages, Budweiser says the baby Clydesdale has her moniker: Hope. The ad, "Brotherhood," which ranked No. 1 on USA Today's Ad Meter (and may have made you tear up), portrays the enduring bond between foal and trainer. Hope was born on Jan. 16 at Warm Springs Ranch in Missouri, where Anheuser-Busch raises Clydesdales. She was the second horse born at the ranch this year, where managers expect to welcome 30 baby Clydesdale in 2013. - Read it at AP via USA Today and see some of the all-time best Super Bowl ads starring animals
