Foxtrot, rescue dog from Pet Haven in Minnesota, wins MVP of Puppy Bowl XXI

MINNEAPOLIS — While many watched the Chiefs and the Eagles battle in the Super Bowl, Minnesota had its own contenders in another bowl on Sunday.

Foxtrot, a 16-week-old pup, wowed fans with speed and agility in the 21st annual Puppy Bowl. He even scored a touchdown and earned "Most Valuable Puppy" honors. Foxtrot's efforts helped lead Team Ruff in a close match with the opposing team, Team Fluff. 

He represented Pet Haven, a Minnesota rescue nonprofit, which said it was "BEYOND psyched" about the award.

Foxtrot wasn't the only pup to participate in the bowl; Pet Haven's Potato played for Team Fluff, which ultimately won the game.
