Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Preview: Watch Some Incredible Dogs On NBC Today

Think your dog knows some great tricks? Wait until you see some of the canines competing in the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals. NBC has the event set to air later today and those who want to see some exceptionally talented and well trained dogs will definitely want to tune in.

Described as a “one-of-a-kind canine sporting event,” Purina’s Incredible Dog Challenge airs today (Saturday, January 14th) at 5:00 p.m. ET on NBC and features dogs from around the world as they compete in Olympic-style events, including Dog Diving, Freestyle Flying Disc, 30-Weave Pole Race, Jack Russell Hurdles and Agility.

The above video sort of makes me want to go wake my cats up... but they probably have another three or four hours of napping to get done before dinner. Maybe I should get a dog.
