Lake Charles, LA, October 9, 2026 — A local news segment in Lake Charles recently highlighted a unique approach to sports predictions, featuring an adoptable dog named Chewy. The segment, titled ‘TDL Puppy Picks,’ focused on forecasting the outcome of the Week 6 football game between the St. Louis Saints and the Westlake Rams.
Chewy, a 6-month-old pitbull, was presented as the predictor for the upcoming game. The segment aired as part of a local news broadcast, offering a lighthearted element to sports coverage. Details regarding the specific outcome predicted by Chewy, or the methodology behind the ‘Puppy Picks’ segment, were not provided in the summary.
The featured canine, Chewy, is currently seeking a permanent home. Information released indicates that Chewy is available for adoption through the Calcasieu Parish Animal Shelter. The shelter is located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and serves the local community by housing and rehoming animals in need.
The initiative to use an adoptable animal for a sports prediction segment serves a dual purpose: to engage viewers with local sports and to raise awareness for animals available for adoption. While the trend summary did not provide further details on the media outlet responsible for the ‘TDL Puppy Picks’ segment, nor the specific date of its airing, it highlighted the animal’s availability for adoption at the Calcasieu Parish Animal Shelter.
