10 Adorable Women We Love Cuddling Puppies in Honor of the Puppy Bowl

Happy almost Super Bowl everybody! For some, this football-y endeavor may be a massive deal, and for others (say for instance, people who describe the Super Bowl as a football-y endeavor) it's pretty much just another Sunday. Or rather, it is the Sunday where Animal Planet hosts World's Cutest Semi-Sporting Event, the Puppy Bowl. But no matter what your feelings may be on this action-packing weekend, we can all agree on one thing; pictures of cute girls holding puppies are important. And so in honor of America's favorite puppy-packed pasttime, here our some of our favorite ladies and their fuzzy friends (we use the term 'puppy' loosely in some cases, but bear with us.) Now scroll forward for maximum cuteness!
