2013 Puppy Bowl: Time, Where to Watch, Local Connections

The 2013 Animal Planet Puppy Bowl IX is the "cutest sports event of the year" and is on Super Bowl Sunday right before Super Bowl 47.

The ninth annual Puppy Bowl will again air before the 2013 Super Bowl.  Check out the cuteness on Animal Planet from 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. (ET) Sunday, Feb. 3.
