Michigan woman and her dog unwittingly attend furry convention and adorable hilarity ensues

Source: Metro Times

Sometimes the internet is a wonderful place.

Especially, when we find Monroe resident Cheryl Wassus and her therapy-dog-in-training, Link, attended a furry convention under the assumption it was an event geared towards pets and pet owners.

Boy, were they wrong.

...




The best part? The Furry Con raised $10,000 for Pets for Vets while Wassus and Link got a crash course on a subculture they likely never knew existed.

Tenderheartedly amusing. I'm betting that twitter user's mother had a nice time there.
