Animal planet is adding a one hour special. Puppy Bowl Presents: The Dog Bowl.

The Dog Bowl features older dogs from 2-15 years of age and, as with the Puppy Bowl, the dogs are all shelter animals.
The purpose is to encourage the adoption of older dogs as they are frequently overlooked.

The Puppy Bowl airs Sunday at 3:00p (Eastern)/ 12:00p (Pacific)
Starting lineup
This year, there will be three disabled puppies on the field.
Lucky is a three legged terrier mix.
Doobert, a deaf English pointer.
Winston, a vision- and hearing-impaired Australian shepherd.

I think that’s great! It’s always harder for older dogs to be adopted than puppies.

I’m just gonna say that their animal handler/photographer crew they have is something else. They are all perfectly focused and looking/smiling right at the camera. That’s some beautiful work.

The Puppy/Dog Bowl is the best thing on tv.

Gotta agree. I adopted a 6 year old dog in 2016 without hesitation. She’s been about the sweetest, most well-behaved dog ever. They deserve homes every bit as much.

Concurring. We adopted a 4-year-old cocker spaniel-chihuahua mix two years ago, and she was the pride and joy of our life. Until our son was born, and she went down a notch. But only a small notch.

But I’ll be working during the Dog Bowl, damnit! Any chances they re-air it at another time?

ETA: Papa can come home with me right now. OOOOOOOooooooh yeah.

I look forward to Super Bowl Sunday because it brings the Puppy Bowl. I don’t watch the former, I adore the latter.

We love this at my house. Thanks for the head’s up, we thought both the dog bowl and puppy bowl were tomorrow, so I just set it up to record tonight. We are super excited! Dog bowl tonight, puppy bowl tomorrow!

As someone who take lots of pictures of dogs, I’ll agree, it’s not easy.

The trick is taking lots of pictures, and finding the one that captured the right moment.

That, and whistling or squeezing a squeaker toy, or holding up a treat. Sometimes, “Bye bye in the car” works really well.

But, after having taken pictures of literally tens of thousands of dogs, it does get easier.

All of the above, plus so much patience. I am the wrangler for the professional photographer who does the profile pictures for our local animal shelter. I love, love, love what I do, but I am seriously exhausted at the end of the day.

Didn’t see it. Any controversial catch/non-catch calls?
