The Pop-Tarts Bowl Strapped a Camera to the Dog That Retrieves the Kicking Tee and Fans Loved It

The first edition of the Pop-Tarts Bowl had plenty to love.

There were mascot antics. There were Pop-Tarts. There was even a pretty good game of football between the North Carolina State Wolfpack and Kansas State Wildcats. There was even a fake punt that went for a touchdown!

But one star shone brighter than the rest, and no, it was not the Pop-Tart mascot, as endearing as they were.

The true star of the show was the tee retrieval dog, Ripkin.

After kickoffs, the adorable pooch sprinted out onto the field to return the kicking tee back to the sidelines. One ingenious producer had the idea to strap a camera to Ripkin, giving fans at home the best angle of the night.

Fans following the action at home loved the dog’s effort.

Good dog.
