Not THAT Big game.  I'm talkin' Puppy Bowl!  There it was, a spectacle for all dog lovers to see, without all that actual football.  Animal Planet's "Puppy Bowl" featured a bunch of puppies doing "something" on a tiny astroturf field.  While hedgehog cheerleaders cheered (on loosely defined sidelines) and intrepid hamsters circled overhead in a "Hampster Blimp" and Meep the Bird tweeted throughout the game (Get it...the bird tweeted-Ha!), Sally (a puppy) sped past Simba and Nala (other puppies) as the Puppy Bowl Kiss Cam featured home videos of puppies being kissed by humans. 

And when all is said, Marta (pictured), a schnauzer/Beagle mix was named Puppy Bowl MVP as she out-hustled and out-muscled other pups twice her size.

PS.  All in all, 63 puppies from shelters all over the U.S. were featured.  If you'd like to adopt, may we suggest you go to Petfinder.com.
