Several dogs from Connecticut will make their national debut Sunday as part of the annual four-legged football game - the Puppy Bowl - before the Super Bowl.
It s Team Ruff vs. Team Fluff to win the coveted Lombarky trophy, and 12 dogs from western Connecticut were among 70 chosen to compete.
This year, pint-sized pooches were drafted from Danbury Animal Welfare Society, also known as DAWS. Filming took place in upstate New York to accommodate social distancing. This is actually DAWS fourth time in the Puppy Bowl, says DAWS Director of Development and Marketing Alice Meenan. We re kind of sworn to secrecy until the final event Sunday, but you should definitely be on the lookout for Lucy. She definitely was a great participant and great player.
