Brothers Eli and Tuck made a great team on the field.
Bergen-bred puppies Eli and Tuck made a great team in Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl IX on Super Bowl Sunday. Watch the attached YouTube video to see the brothers in action. Tuck and Eli teamed up to score a touchdown and were noted as top players on the team. The puppies, who were taken in by the Bergen County Animal Shelter, were chosen to take part in Animal Planet's popular event along with their brothers Cruz and Prince who didn't make the starting line-up. The pups are growing up quick and just reunited last Friday when the animal shelter threw them a bit pep rally celebration to kick-off the Puppy Bowl.
