RUFF AND TUMBLE SHELTER PUPS RUSH THE FIELD FOR ANIMAL PLANET’S PUPPY BOWL VI

Watch These Rookies Take it to the House on Super Bowl™ Sunday

For the First Time Catch Panoramic Puppy Play from the Twizzlers® Blimp

(Silver Spring, MD) – If your favorite team is on the bench instead of in the playoffs this year, it’s time to forget that post season slump. Some very special rookies are ready to take the field with a winning combination of tackles, fumbles and even a few tumbles, for their shot at the end zone —or a tug toy—in Animal Planet’s PUPPY BOWL VI.

This annual canine battle is back as a new pack of pups mix it up on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium. On Sunday, February 7, from 3-5 PM (ET/PT), an all-star lineup of rambunctious, rescue pups competes in the ultimate showdown full of dogged defense, puppy penalties and fido first downs.

Plus, for the first time in PUPPY BOWL history, all the action will be captured in panoramic view with aerial coverage provided by the Twizzlers® blimp and its rogue hamster crew. In another fun first, the sidelines will also be hopping with the addition of spirited bunny rabbit cheerleaders.

Animal Planet has also booked a bevy of frolicking felines for an all-new edition of the BISSELL® KITTY HALF-TIME SHOW.

I love it when they go for a drink of water and stick their big puppy feet right in the bowl. Ha ha!

I never heard of this b4 today, but since we have a new puppy and I ain't much of a football fan anymore.

Puppy Bowl it is!

I LOVE the Puppy Bowl!!!

Best stress reducer ever; you cannot watch it & feel tense at the same time.

But who is providing the play-by-play this year, since Harry Kalas, the original Puppy Bowl play-by-play man, passed away last year?

Love, love, love the Puppy bowl. It’s the best part of Super Sunday. Daughter and I checked out all the puppies earlier this week, we picked the husky as our favorite too.

I think they should get Keith Olbermann to do play-by-play, but he’d probably screw it up. “Well, that little German shepherd BUSH HITLER really looked good as he ran that pattern CHENEY SATAN but he should have cut back mid-field LIMBAUGH PALIN and might have made a nice play. Now, it is third and goal CONSERVATIVES RACIST and only moments left on the clock. SIEG HEIL.”

I love the Puppy Bowl, it is sheer genius.

Ok, I admit to being a little confused as to where I can see Puppy Bowl. Is this part of the half time show or does it have to be viewed elsewhere? I think I’d love to see this since my beautiful little girl left me last November. I’m so starved for animal company!

I realize you were going for a comedic element there, but seriously, dude...associating somebody like Keith Olbermann with something as cute and wholesome as The Puppy Bowl is frankly just sick. ;-)

We’ve recorded it for the past couple of years. It’s great all year around when a smile or chuckle is needed.
