Let the Puppy Bowl begin

Super Bowl Sunday doesn't have to be focused on the football game

Dog lovers are tuning into to another bowl championship that just might be just as challenging as the National Football League's game.

That's right. We're talking about the Animal Planet's “Puppy Bowl VIII” where puppies compete for BISSELL's Most Valuable Puppy Award. The doggie bowl (pun intended) will feature rescue dogs of all breeds from around the country scurrying to carry their squeaker toy across the endzone.

Several major news outlets have already dedicated coverage to Puppy Bowl.

A few of those interesting reads are below:

Josie Loza: 10 must-see summer movies
If there's one film I'm excited for this summer, it's Disney Pixar's "Brave." The 3-D film is about a fiery, red-head princess named Merida. She's a headstrong girl born of a royal family in the Highlands of Scotland. She's not a hoity-toity girl but a warrior princess. "Oh, yeah!" my 4-year-old Alejandra will shout at my laptop screen. We've watched the movie trailer on YouTube about a dozen times. The film doesn't release until June 22. So, we've been busy at home pretending we're rebels alongside Merida. Merida's storyline: She rebels against her parents' efforts to marry her off, preferring to master the art of archery. Alejandra's storyline: Boys are gross. Girls rock. Oh, yeah! And she's trying to master the art of archery. What can I say? My girl has an imagination. Make sure you click the headline to see the World-Herald's Top 10 summer movie list.
