The Dogs of Super Bowl 53

The Dogs of Super Bowl 53

There are football fans and then there are dog commercial fans. They meet at Super Bowl 53 this year and this Sunday in Atlanta. Who will win? (The teams are the New England Patriots vs the Los Angeles Rams, by the way, for you other-football fans.) And, did you know that the Super Bowl is so big that it spans 10 days of events?

In past Super Bowls, the yellow lab puppies and Clydsdale wanna-be of Budweiser fame have won many hearts but then there is also the great Doritos commercial where a dog puts a shock collar on a guy eating Doritos and whisks away the goods.

This year, 2019, will not prove to be the Top Dog but dogs do appear. We have the popular golden retriever but also a Dalmatian for Budweiser this year* (Budweiser purchased 6 ½ minutes at $175,000 a second!). And a boston terrier. And perhaps a dog or two in a car. And coming up in the popularity polls – service dogs!

Enjoy this preview! Oh, and let us know if you think Budweiser is one of the worst – or second best.

What about the Puppies?

They have their own Super Bowl! You can catch this year’s Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet at 3 pm Sunday. A pre-game show begins at 11 am but you can also stream it now at AnimaPlanet.com. It’s Team Fluff pitted against Team Ruff.

Puppy Bowl 2019, the 15th, will showcase 93 puppies from 53 shelters. Yay!
