可愛無法擋 ─《狗狗超級盃》

The Puppy Bow


Sports can be one way to get attention, but cute puppies are always a sure bet. What could be better than combining the two? Animal Planet decided to connect the two ideas by creating the Puppy Bowl. The series imitates the Super Bowl and features puppies as contestants. The puppies that compete, or rather play in the games, all come from animal shelters. In fact, adoption is the aim of the show, and success stories are part of another show called Adoption Tales. Numerous adoptions have taken place, and Animal Planet airs these stories to encourage more pet adoptions. Various animal rescue groups and shelters participate, increasing people's chances of finding the perfect pal for all their furry needs.

運動競賽是一種引起注意的方法,但可愛的小狗狗則總是能吸引大家的目光。有什麼比結合這兩者更好的作法呢?《動物星球頻道》決定結合這兩個點子而創造出《狗狗超級盃》這個節目。這個系列模仿《超級盃》比賽,其特色是以小狗作為參賽的選手。參賽的小狗,或者應該說在比賽中玩耍的小狗,都來自於動物收容所。事實上,領養是這個節目的主要目的,而成功領養的故事則是另一個節目 ──Adoption Tales內容的一部份。已經有許多領養的例子了,而《動物星球頻道》會播出這些故事來鼓勵更多人領養寵物。各個不同的動物救援團體和收容所都有參與,增加了人們的機會來找到完美的夥伴以滿足他們對於毛茸茸動物的需求。
