Regardless of how you feel about football, the appeal of the Puppy Bowl is undeniable. You've got adorable dogs basically just running around for 90 minutes, with a break for kittens during halftime. But it's not just cute — all 78 of the Puppy Bowl players are up for adoption, and Animal Planet uses the event to advocate for adopting shelter dogs.
While puppies are adorable, senior dogs need forever homes, too. https://t.co/6oBfpW6Bwo @subaru_usa #ad #MakeADogsDay

This year, the event will also feature three special-needs dogs, including this little three-legged pup named Lucky:

Because, as the "We Rate Dogs" Twitter account reminds us, all dogs are good dogs.
Before the Puppy Bowl starts I want to reassure everyone that all participants are, indeed, good dogs
