Animal Planet hosts the Puppy Bowl every year, in which two teams of adorable rescue pups compete but playing with chew toys. If a dog happens to reach an end zone with the toy in its mouth, he scores some points for either Team Fluff or Team Ruff.
United States women’s national soccer stars Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris were in attendance for the cute game, as were Elena Delle Donne of the WNBA’s Washington Mystics and Jennie Finch of softball fame.

While the aesthetic of the Puppy Bowl is hard to beat, the message behind it is even more powerful. All of the doggy participants in the game were rescues, and during the game, people called in and adopted most of the pups. Animal Planet wants to promote the adoption of dogs from shelters as opposed to purchasing pets from breeders.
The official winner of #PuppyBowl is all of us who watched it and smiled for two straight hours, with occasional squees.
