Article of the Week: Football is for the Dogs

If watching humans play football on Superbowl Sunday is not for you, you can watch an event that supports animal participants instead. Enter the Puppy Bowl, an event designed to raise awareness about adopting pets from shelters. It airs on Sunday, February 3, 2013 at 3:00 ET/PT, and you can view it on Animal Planet. Click here or the photo to watch a trailer for the event, as well as related videos. Are you ready for some woofs?
