The 8-month-old, black-and-white fellow is a recent transplant to Chris and Christina Leeâs home near Salem, where he is part of a six-pup pack of rescue dogs.
The Lees will be watching on Sunday, like everyone else interested in doggy hijinks. Marshall and the other pups prerecorded the game.
âMarshall is a great fit for the Puppy Bowl as he is incredibly athletic and energetic, and loves his toys,â Chris Lee, a math professor at Roanoke College, wrote in an email exchange. âAs the goal of the game is to grab toys and run them into the end zone, we have a feeling he did pretty well. But, as we couldnât be there for the filming due to COVID travel restrictions, we are waiting along with everyone else to see how he plays!â
