She lives in Pontiac, was discovered in Clarkston, got her TV break in New York City and is named Brooklyn.

Meet the German shepherd rescue dog who's representing Michigan in the 2016 "Puppy Bowl XII" from Animal Planet.

The adorable Brooklyn was found by the cable network through Canine Companions Rescue Center in Clarkston, an all-volunteer, foster-based group that rescues dogs from the state's animal shelters and works to place them in loving homes.

It was one of 44 animal shelters and rescue organizations that connected Animal Planet with players for this year's Team Ruff and Team Fluff.
