Since humans and dogs still have a language barrier, the Puppy Predictors communicate their decisions through food. To gather this precious intel,The Tonight Showsets out two bowls of food, each labeled with one of the potential winners, and then releases the hounds onto the stage. The bowl that attracts the most hungry puppies is taken as the dogs' winning prediction.

While the concept may seem simple to some, the Puppy Predictors take their work seriously. The adorable pack arrives atThe Tonight Showearly to rehearse their big moment so they are prepared and free of stage fright when it comes time to make their choice in front of the audience.
