If there’s one event that can compete with the Super Bowl it’s the Puppy Bowl.
Since 2005, Animal Planet has hosted a yearly program called the Puppy Bowl and it’s basically the dog version of the Super Bowl. The annual event consists of different puppies that have been rescued from areas around the world. The puppies are separated into two different teams, Team Fluff and Team Ruff, and go they go head-to-head inside a model stadium for the MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) award by scoring touchdowns with different dog toys.
Team Fluff has captured back-to-back Puppy Bowl titles and will look to take home their third straight championship this year.
