LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Bobbi and Wayne

This week’s Pet Connection is a couple of bonded cuties who come as a package deal, so prepare to fall in love not once, but twice.

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Nelson

FARGO — There’s a lot to love this Pet Connection Thursday with huge, handsome Nelson from Homeward Animal Shelter. And believe it or not, this sweet soul recently had his heart broken, although it’s hard to tell from how nice he was to everyone on the Morning Show. Nelson recently lost his dad, who was elderly and passed away. Then…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Bonnie June

MOORHEAD — Bonnie June is as sweet as her name, and has the energy level of a dog less than half her age.

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Cricket

WEST FARGO — If you’re looking for someone who’s always in the mood for a chat, you couldn’t do better than this little lovebug, Cricket.

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Viktor

FARGO — Viktor may not have had the most triumphant Fourth of July last year, but he’s won out over a very tough experience and he’s ready for his furever home. While everyone else was celebrating the holiday, poor Viktor spent it recuperating. That’s because he had a firework blow up in his face and got injured. Fortunately, he’s made…

LIVE: Pet Connection: Meet Rigatoni

FARGO — Talk about a treat for Pet Connection Thursday. Rigatoni the black lab bounced into the studios with a smile as big as his heart and quite a story to share. The seven-year-old senior citizen is getting a new leash on life, having dropped more than 20 pounds from his original 113-pound status since arriving at the 4 Luv…
