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.

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.

I had no idea there was a Convention for people to dress as animals and hang out.

Knew about Bronies and think anything that involves creative and imaginative play is good.

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