If the K-9 officers from the Tampa Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are right, the Steelers will bring home the win during Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIII. In a bizarre Tampa tradition, the two agencies put their four-legged officers on the case to sniff out clues as to which team will go all the way.
The sniffing “Dog Bowl” took place in downtown Tampa’s Lykes Gaslight Park Wednesday. The event seeks to predict the outcome of the big game by having the dogs select the helmet of their liking. Both Bosco and Bo from the Tampa Police Department settled in with four paws each for the Steelers. ATF’s Sunshine is said to have favored by Cardinals because of their “explosive offense.”
While it’s true that the dogs give the win 2-to-1 to the Steelers, it should be noted that ATF’s pick last year was right on the money.
The Dog Bowl was just one of many unique Super Bowl events scheduled for the Tampa Bay area this week. As the city welcomes thousands of football fans, it’s pulling out all the stops to make sure visitors have a great time before, during and after the game.
Football fans who can’t make it to the Bay Area to enjoy the action, can still bring home a piece of the fun to remember the big game by. A dueling Steelers vs Cardinals Super Bowl 43 gold plated flip coin might even be more reliable for predicting the outcome than three canines with incredibly sensitive noses!
