We know, we know; of course you’re gonna be watching the Super Bowl next Sunday. But before the big game, there’s the Puppy Bowl, the furrocious competition in which Team Ruff and Team Fluff go snout-to-snout in battle for the Lombarky Trophy. It’s not just fun and games, either; all the pups are rescue doggos, and the annual Animal Planet showcase, airing this year at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 12th, highlights the big hearts of rescue shelters and workers from across the country. Including, naturally, some local stars! Like team leader Tailen Hurts:
