There is very little left to celebrate a new edition of the Super Bowl, an American sporting event that excites not only American football lovers, but also those who call themselves ‘pet lovers’.
While next Sunday, February 12, will see the Philadelphia Eagles face the Kansas City Chiefs, several dogs will have a separate game when the 2023 Puppy Bowl takes place a few hours earlier.
It is a pre-Super Bowl program in which Team Ruff and Team Fluff will face each other to compete for the Lombarky Trophy.
On this occasion, 122 puppies from 67 shelters in 34 states were recruited, who will give them all to show that they have nothing to envy to professional NFL players.
How to watch the Puppy Bowl 2023?
The 2023 Puppy Bowl will air on three networks and two streaming platforms. It can be seen on February 12 simultaneously on Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, TBS, HBO Max, and Discovery+. The scheduled time is 1 pm (EST) / 10 am (PST).
The goal of the Puppy Bowl is, of course, to get these cute four-legged players adopted. It was created to demonstrate the excess of orphaned and abandoned puppies found in search of a home.
According to the San Diego Union Tribune, the pandemic affected dogs greatly but not because of covid, but because several shelters and veterinarians had to interrupt their spaying and neutering services.
As a result, canine birth rates skyrocketed, particularly in states where spaying and neutering are not mandatory before adoption.
On the other hand, some specialists point out that the increase in abandoned and stray pets is related to inflation and the increase in the cost of pet food and medical care.
Who will sing at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show?
The mythical and acclaimed Super Bowl halftime show already has a protagonist. It’s none other than Rihanna. The native singer from Barbados will return to the public stage after more than five years of absence in a big way. It is worth mentioning that ‘RiRi’ has also been nominated for the Oscars in the category of Best Original Song with ‘Lift Me Up’.
The other guest artist, who will keep Rihanna company, is Dj Snake, one of the most influential musicians and producers in the industry.
