Drumroll, please! It’s time to celebrate the fluffiest, waggiest, and most adorable competition in sports – the Puppy Bowl! In its 20th glorious year, the Puppy Bowl brought together 131 pawsome pups from shelters nationwide to battle it out on the field for the coveted Wayfair Lombarky Trophy. It was cuteness overload as Team Ruff and Team Fluff faced off in a tail-wagging showdown that had everyone on the edge of their seats.
So, who emerged victorious from this puppy-packed extravaganza? Well, hold onto your hats (or should we say, your doggie treats), because Team Ruff clinched the title in a nail-biting finish, winning 72-69 over their furry foes on Team Fluff. It was a barking good time for all as Cookie, a delightful Siberian husky and American pit bull terrier mix from Dayton, dashed across the field to score the game-winning touchdown. And let’s not forget about Frankie, the brave chihuahua poodle mix and captain of Team Ruff, who proudly accepted the Lombarky Trophy from the one and only “Ruff-free” Dan Schachner.

But the excitement doesn’t end there! Our MVP (Most Valuable Pup) of the day goes to none other than Moosh from Team Ruff. With paws of gold and a heart of pure puppy love, Moosh stole the show with their adorable antics and paw-some plays.
Now, you might be wondering, what was the final score of this epic puppy showdown? Well, it was a close one, folks – 72-69 in favor of Team Ruff. Talk about a doggone thrilling game!
And for those who are keeping track, Team Ruff now boasts a record of 4-3 against Team Fluff in the past six years. It’s been quite the tail-wagging journey for these adorable athletes, and we can’t wait to see what next year’s Puppy Bowl has in store.
As we bid adieu to this year’s Puppy Bowl, let’s not forget the reigning champions from last year – Team Fluff, who clinched the victory in 2023 with a score of 87-83 over Team Ruff. Ah, the memories of Pickle the Pomeranian stealing our hearts as the game’s MVP are still fresh in our minds.
So, here’s to another year of puppy love, touchdowns, and tail wags galore! Until next time, keep those tails wagging and those hearts melting, because there’s no bond quite like the one between a human and their furry best friend.
