Monday’s College Football Playoff national championship game was won before it was even played.
The bestest boys you could ever imagine showed up in full force, as Kirk Herbstreit’s dog Ben and the Washington Huskies dog mascot Dubs were the real VIPs at Houston’s NRG Stadium.
Herbstreit has brought Ben along with him to various sporting events this season, and of course this wonderful golden retriever showed up for this year’s college football title game.
Herbstreit took Ben on a pregame walk and even brought him onto the field for a segment along with Chris Fowler. Look at that good boy!

Dubs also showed up to support his team, looking like the happiest malamute in the world.

These two star dogs even got to meet before the game, and it was absolutely adorable to see these good boys sitting together.
Shower them with hugs and cookies!

The national title game was great and all, but we all won for getting to spend a little screen time with these amazing pups.
The best thing I’ve ever coordinated 🥰 https://t.co/xOAS29Q848
