What time is the Puppy Bowl? Kickoff, date, how to watch, more on Super Bowl for dogs

It's commonly believed that dogs don't understand the concept of time, at least in terms of minutes and hours like humans.
While it's true that they don't walk around wearing thousand-dollar watches or smart ones that track steps, these four-legged animals surely know their way around the clock.
They know when it's time for dinner, to go for a walk, to expect you to get home and so much more. On Super Bowl Sunday, they also know when it's game time.
In a way, the Puppy Bowl is like the "The Bachelor," but without the potential commitment. For the NFL enthusiasts, maybe the scouting combine would suffice as a fine comparison. Regardless, the event provides onlookers with plenty of opportunities to watch their future family members without fear of rejection if they decide to go forward in the adoption process.
The Puppy Bowl is about raising awareness for pet adoption, hoping to find homes for all of them and those who don't participate. As a result, you can be certain that these pups will be ready to go when it's time.
