FARGO — They’re the dogs that have a lot of people asking themselves, “What the fluff?” Chow chows are a breed not many people know a whole lot about, and that’s a shame, because with their thick coats built to withstand harsh winters in China, they’re a great fit for our extreme cold climate here in the upper Midwest.

FARGO — The metro is going to the dogs…. and they want you to join them.

FARGO — If you haven’t figured out what you’re getting the mothers in your life for Mother’s Day, you’d better get on it — it’s this Sunday.

FARGO — It’s the question that hangs every week over each pet who comes through the KVRR studios for Pet Connection Thursday. Sooner or later, during the shoot, someone will ask, “Who on earth would ever be willing to give up such a wonderful animal companion?” And most of the time, the question goes unanswered. In Waldo’s case, we know……
FARGO — There’s an awareness walk coming up this weekend that deals with a disease that steals mobility, memory and so much more from its victims.
