The real “big game” on Sunday is Animal Planet’s “Puppy Bowl,” which kicks off at 2 pm. This year, no North Carolina dogs were included. So, with the help of Cardinal & Pine readers, we built our own roster of all-star K9s.

The real game is the Puppy Bowl, played over on Animal Planet at 2 pm on Sunday. This year’s roster is all sorts of adorable, but there’s one big problem:
There are no North Carolina dogs!
