Puppy Bowl 2013: Starting Lineup, Time, Photos and More
A lot of dogs can bark the bark, but only at the Puppy Bowl do we learn which dogs can also walk the walk.
This year's annual show promises to be jam-packed with so much adorable it will eventually hurt. Seriously, there will be so much fluffy you might die. As if that weren't enough, there will also be hedgehogs as cheerleaders and kittens performing the halftime show.
Amazing, I know.
The Puppy Bowl is always a blast, and please remember that all of these critters are up for adoption and could use a good home.
It's not just entertainment—it's also for a good cause. Here's all the information you need so you don't miss a single cute moment.
When: Sunday, Feb. 3, at 3 p.m. ET
Watch: Animal Planet

Last Year's Recap
Predictions
Yes, I'm going to make predictions.
Two early pups to keep an eye on are Willis and Koda, who at four months old have a major advantage in experience. Aurora, Chestnut, Daffodil and Tuck all look like spry and playful puppies who could make a run at this year's Most Valuable Puppy Award.
And Eli just looks wise, man. I feel like he's an old soul.
But my money is on Blitz, pictured in the cover photo of this article. For one, her name is Blitz, which should instantly put fear in her opponents. For another, look at her confidence—how she holds her head up high when being photographed.
She is not to be denied.
But really, we're all winners at the Puppy Bowl, because darn it all if it isn't the most adorable event of the year. Enjoy.
