Animals

A shelter in Illinois started doing something special to make the pets in their care more comfortable!

Everyone has seen the movies where kids wake up Christmas morning to a puppy under the tree. But what happens when the holiday magic wears off?

Ever wondered why we're so attracted to cute, fluffy, furry, button-nosed creatures that we just want to scoop up and hold close and never let go of? It's because of something called cute aggression.

If you have a pet -- or know someone who does -- you’ve probably talked to it before. And I don’t mean basic commands like “sit,” or “ come,” or “STOP!” I mean, had a proper conversation with Fluffy.

Some of the most rare animals on Earth call the next stop on our Hometown Tourist Series home: Hemker Park and Zoo in Freeport.

Several farm animals died in a barn fire last (Wednesday) night.

If you are a dog owner, you understand how we translate the things our dogs do into words as if they are talking to us. This takes that to a brilliant level with a teasing conversation with the dog. Poor little guy, I hope he got a treat after all is said and done...

Brutus just had the staples removed from his TPLO procedure and the vet says he's coming along great!

Curious about laser therapy? We give you a peek into a session with our dog to help you learn more about it.

Brutus the Bulldog is home from TPLO surgery to repair a torn CCL. This dog is more hopped up than David After Dentist.

We finally got the official diagnosis on why our dog has been limping around for the last couple weeks and it's not good.

If you love cute dogs in cute costumes doing cute things, this is one animal celebrity you should take note of, Manny the Frenchie.
