Is #Gizmo related to the #Traveler's #Insurance #dog?

          Because we’re not sure of Gizmo’s heredity, we’re open to any suggestions about his background.  While out on a walk, a couple with a King Charles Spaniel (of which, my friend John Powers said, “My dog’s family tree goes back much further than mine”) approached us.     
            After the two dogs sniffed each other and gently wagged their tails, the wife said that Gizmo looks just like the Traveler’s Insurance dog in the commercial about a dog burying a bone and putting it into a safe deposit box in order to make it secure.
          I looked up the charming and funny commercial and got these pictures from it.  Is there a family resemblance?

Gizmo: not a match
