The Puppy Bowl is the best part of Super Bowl Sunday. If you think differently, you're wrong. I mean, football is OK, but puppies! And kitties! Rolling around on a tiny football field! Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl will air, as always, on Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 5, and it will feature shelter dogs and cats. Animal Planet films this spectacular feature in advance of February, and I got to be a lucky viewer. If you can contain your jealousy of my adventure (I won't blame you if you can't), scroll through to see some behind-the-scenes shots and find out what really happens at the taping. And don't forget to tune into Animal Planet on Feb. 5 at 3 p.m. EST to see all this cuteness come together!
On kitten day, the only sound was the whirring of the electronic kitty toys. No meowing, no talking, no anything. On puppy day, while I was there, there was hardly any barking. Just so much playing!
And when I say all of them, I mean the kitties, the puppies, some bunnies, a few guinea pigs. It was practically a zoo behind the scenes, and it was amazing.
And by the time the show airs in February, all of the animals will have found homes. Several of them had actually already found homes by the time of the taping, which is amazing news!
