Laney, a 6-month-old Brittany Spaniel mix from Wellington, will be one of more than 60 puppies taking the field for Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl X next Sunday.

The bowl features puppies from animal rescues nationwide playing on the field at “Animal Planet Stadium.”

Laney and her suspected litter-mate, Loren, are representing the Colorado Animal Welfare League, the no-kill, foster-based animal rescue through which they were adopted.

“I got (Laney and Loren) last summer from a backyard breeder who lost control of what she was doing,” said Lisa Petri, Colorado Animal Welfare League president and volunteer.

Laney – like Manning – is No. 18 in the starting lineup. She has to focus less on her ball handling, however, as the Puppy Bowl is mainly a chance to catch fur balls on a football field.

Laney and Loren also were selected for the 11-member fantasy team.

Laney will join the Colorado Animal Welfare League at the Watering Bowl, a sports bar and dog park in Denver, for a Super Bowl Sunday watch party.

The two big screens will feature the most important sporting events of the day.

“Football on one screen, Puppy Bowl on the other,” Petri said.
