Meet Muskegon's Dolly Barkon, MI's Lone Pup In Puppy Bowl XX

Every year in January, we gear up for the most intense football game that you'll see all year long. Yes, my friends, it's the culmination of the two best teams who have battled through blood sweat, and tears to reach the big game. Of course, I'm talking about the Puppy Bowl.

This Year Animal Planet Presents; Puppy Bowl XX and Michigan's lone representative comes from Muskegon. This year, Dolly Barkon, a 6-month-old beagle mix from the Big Lake Humane Society will be the only puppy from Michigan to represent the state, as she will be in the starting lineup for Team Fluff.

Team Fluff's Chances of Winning Puppy Bowl XX

In Puppy Bowl XIX, Team Fluff won with a score of 87-83. This brought Team Fluff's all-time Puppy Bowl record to 5-4 since the teams were introduced in Puppy Bowl XI. A win from Team Fluff this year would mark the first-ever 3-Peat from any of the teams in the Puppy Bowl.

Currently, Vegas has the spread at 4.5 (allegedly).
