Puppy Bowl X is coming on “big game” Sunday (Feb 2) on Animal Planet!
If you have not heard of or watched one of the previous 9 Puppy Bowls it features adorable puppies, 66 of them this year, all playing together with toys on a fake puppy sized football field. Getting a toy to the end zones results in a touch down, rough play results in penalties. It is not so much about the “game” but rather about watching adorable puppies! The puppies all come from local rescues to help raise awareness for these pups and all rescued animals in need of homes.
Viewers get to vote for the MVP – Most Valuable Puppy – during the live event. There is also a half time show featuring kittens and keyboard cat, and cheerleaders.
Puppy Bowl X has penguin cheerleaders for the first time!

The best part is that this plays before the big game so you can watch both! It also replays after so you can watch puppies instead of football if that is your thing.

1. Alvin – Male Poodle
2. August – Female Boxer
3. Aurora – Female Dalmation
4. Cody – Male Spaniel
