For the eighth year in a row, Animal Planet will air their Puppy Bowl at 3 PM on February 5th. Adorable pups from shelters across the country will don uniforms of the two opposing Super Bowl teams and romp about on the field for some adorable fun.<\/p>\n

This year, Meep the Bird\u00a0will tweet all the action from inside the stadium and a piggy pep squad that will \u201cham\u201d it up on the sidelines. (Last year\u2019s event had a\u00a0chicken pep squad.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s lots of fun and brings attention to pups in animal shelters looking for homes. You can see the starting line up of cuteness and then watch Puppy Bowl VIII on the Animal Planet website.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
