Many Americans will be watching Tom Brady’s Patriots take on Eli Manning and the Giants on Super Bowl Sunday, but don’t forget about the other big game on this weekend - Puppy Bowl IV.
If you have never seen a Puppy Bowl, you don’t know what you are missing. Puppies of all breeds are given total run of a football themed play area and all of their antics are caught on tape by the Animal Planet cameras.
There doesn’t appear to be a pug in this year’s starting lineup, but if you are a dog lover you will want to tune in to catch at least a few minutes of Puppy Bowl IV.
Puppy Bowl IV airs on Animal Planet on Sunday, February 3, 2008 and starts at 3pm.

You can see a picture of one of the collars here.
