Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl V
If your favorite team’s season went to the dogs this year (or worse, you were a Lions fan), Animal Planet has some new recruits that are ready for their chance to conquer the pigskin—or a chew toy—in PUPPY BOWL V.
For those with no interest in football of the two legged variety, Animal Planet proudly presents Puppy Bowl V. And this year, all the puppy's are from shelter's and available for adoption.
The yearly canine competition is back as a new cast of pups takes the field for another year of dogged defense, puppy penalties and fido first downs. The action takes place on the grand gridiron of Animal Planet Stadium, where an all-star, all- “adoptable” lineup of rambunctious pups is ready to compete in the ultimate puppy showdown.
Singing this year's National Anthem is none other than Pepper the Parrot all the way from Bird City, Kansas . Joining Puppy Bowl for the first tim
e, Pepper will kick start this year’s sports extravaganza with her flapping rendition of the National Anthem.
Pepper has been seen on Animal Planet's Pet Star and has been featured in BirdTalk magazine, Companion Parrot Quarterly and BirdChannel.com.
