** The commentary tries so hard to make it sound like the puppies are actually ''trying'' to score touchdowns...the referee also sincerely says "TOUCHDOWN!" and personally congratulates the scorers.
** Puppy Bowl XVII had the a capella group ''Boys World'' sing the national anthem, rather than using a recording while holding puppies. Everyone stood to attention, puppies and referee alike, except for one who was sleeping in a singer's arms. It was poignant nonetheless.
