To Animal Planet

Dear Animal Planet,

I watch the Puppy Bowl every year, and I haven't seen a single Maltese. What gives? Are Maltese so awesome they would make the other puppies look bad?

Your friend,

Weasel McPuppy

P.S. - And what was with all the confetti during the Kitty Half-Time Show? It looked like Rip Taylor exploded.

P.P.S. - I've enclosed my picture. Please keep it in on file in case you need an adorable doggy around which to build a show. You can send me something in return if you wanna... preferably something delicious.

Dear Weasel,

Thank you for contacting Animal Planet. We appreciate your interest in Puppy Bowl V!

For the first time ever, all of our puppy athletes were from local shelters, and thankfully, every puppy was adopted into a good home following the filming of Puppy Bowl in the fall.

Since all the "participants" were from local shelters, we do not have the ability to choose the breeds seen on the show. This might explain the lack of Maltese on the show.

For additional information on Puppy Bowl and its participants, please visit www.animalplanet.com

Sincerely,

Viewer Relations
Animal Planet
