As soon as March Madness begins about a thousand different brackets fly out of the woodwork, covering topics like 'best Seinfeld episode,' or 'Best Kanye West song.'

The Los Angeles Kings seem to really enjoy dogs (who doesn't?), as for the last four years they have been hosting a tournament of their own called 'Bark Madness.' At the start of the tournament 16 dogs belonging to 16 players face-off in a vote to determine which dog is the cutest. 

If we had to pick an early favourite, we would definitely be going with Howard Stoll -- Jarret Stoll and Erin Andrews' pupper -- to win it all.

 

 

 

Take a look at the match ups below!

Now, before you go and vote for Howard (the obvious pick), let us make a case for why you should vote for Howard Stoll. First off, he was ranked as the 15th seed in the tourney, and he wasn't pleased about it AT ALL.

 

 

Second, the guy likes watching National Lampoon movies at Christmas like the rest of us.

 

 

And lastly, he's got the cutest tongue....
