Tony Aviles / Bright Road Productions / Discovery+ / Animal PlanetFor the last 11 years, Dan Schachner has been doing what he considers to be one of the greatest jobs in the world."When I first started I thought it was a smallish kind of job," Schachner told NBC News ahead of Sunday's 18th annual Puppy Bowl."I didn't realize how big it was in terms of scope and reach.
"More important than that even — the shelters and rescues where the dogs come from report an uptick in adoptions," he said."So that's what's so cool about it, the spirit of the Puppy Bowl continues even when it's over."The rules of the Puppy Bowl are simple — if a pup brings a toy into the opposing team's end zone, they score a touchdown. The team with the most points at the end wins.
"We have dogs associated with celebrities like Ariana Grande, guys from the Houston Texans, NFL players and, of course, Martha Stewart's new dogs not just as hosts but as the coaches of teams Ruff and Fluff," Schachner said. "It’s a dream come true just like it’s a dream to find these puppies a home, too," Snoop Dogg said of performing at the Halftime Show.
Schachner said several dogs playing in the game were noteworthy because they had overcome disabilities to play in the games. Among them, he mentioned Irwin, a three-legged dog from The Sato Project, which rescues dogs from Puerto Rico, and Benny, a wheelchair-bound dog from Bosley’s Place in Georgia.Tony Aviles / Bright Road Productions / Discovery+ / Animal Planet
