Forget the big game for a moment. 150 playful pups are gearing up to steal the show this February, and three of the pups are from West Michigan.
It really doesn’t matter if you love football or not on Super Bowl Sunday when you have the Puppy Bowl. The very first Puppy Bowl was broadcast on Animal Planet in 2005. Since then, the popularity of this annual event has grown like crazy. This year, a Kalamazoo dog will be starring in this howl-ariously entertaining television event.
The SPCA of Southwest Michigan made this exciting announcement just before 4 PM on Thursday.”Our very own puppy, Dan, from the SPCA of Southwest Michigan, is officially starring in the famous Puppy Bowl on February 8 @2pm EST!!🏈🐶 This is such an incredible moment for Dan and our shelter, and we couldn’t be prouder of this amazing pup. Be sure to tune in February 8 on Animal Planet to cheer him on and celebrate shelter dogs everywhere💙”
