This year, Super Bowl Sunday will be cuter than ever. Seriously, it’s never been cuter, and it’s all thanks to the stars of the Puppy Bowl. Adorable, adoptable, and full of fun, the furry stars of Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl are ready to charm you. This year marks the first that puppies with special needs will star in the big annual show. They include Lucky, an adorable tripod terrier mix, Doobert, a deaf pointer, and Winston, a deaf and blind Australian shepherd.
