Pet Connection

Yesterday morning we were one of the very first to report the story about the abandoned puppy who Gloversville police say was tied to a shopping cart, alone near a body of water, and presumably left for dead. So many of you were disgusted, and we have an update. ...

Please allow me first and foremost to bring to your attention that the gentleman who owns this miniature pig who went missing is named Carl Burnham.  Burn-ham!  You can't make this stuff up.  Anyway, I digress.  This isn't a story about swine irony, it's a story about a man who was feeling quite 'sowwy' for himself after his pet pig Hamilton went missing on Thursday morning but thanks to social me

There's been no shortage of wild animal/human interaction gone viral in recent weeks and some of these videos have been downright unbelievable.  This week we saw that incredible video from California where a 17-year-old girl pushed a large bear off of her porch when it got too close and threatened her dogs.  Th...

An alarming and unsettling story out of Guilderland has a family concerned for the safety of their children and their pets, and a community worried that whoever is responsible, is still out there. According to a report from News Channel 13, a man from Guilderland who the news station only identified at Patrick, says one of their dogs named Skye was shot back in October near the house ...

We all know the toll the pandemic has taken on us hoomans, but what about all the good boys and good girls out there?  If your home is anything like mine, you could make the argument that doggies have cashed in on the pandemic more than anything.  My girlfriend Samantha and I have been around a lot more, and that means more belly rubs, treats, and back scratches for our two dogs. But on more than

The Albany County Sheriff's Office released information on Wednesday about a dog they say was found in Berne and left for dead.  According to the authorities, the dog was left in a ditch to die after it had apparently been shot multiple times, including one to the head. It's as heartbreaking as it it infuriating and we're all hoping that whoever did this is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the

You should probably take two minutes out of your day to watch this adorable viral video. A nervous mama bear inadvertently caused quite the traffic jam in Winchester, Connecticut while she struggled to get all four of her cubs across the street.  Three of the cubs made it relatively easy for mama, while the 4th had other plans. The video was taken in Winchester, CT which is located just 75 miles s

I don't know what the punishment is for something like this, but in my opinion - if found guilty - the judge should add a decade to whatever the sentence is.  A woman in Upstate New York is facing animal cruelty charges after she allegedly gave a lethal dose of heroin to a 6-week-old puppy.  To make matters worse, the alleged animal abuser filmed the puppy high from the drugs in a video so disturb

Montgomery County Sheriff's are looking for the owner of a horse they say was found near Canajoharie on Thursday morning.  The mustang was meandering like he (or she) was wild, but clearly that's not the case.   The horse in the photo most certainly belongs to someone as evident by the coat its wearing in the photograph.  They since taken to social media and they've asking the public to assist the

The homeowners of a Rensselaer County farm, overwhelmed and unable to care for the large amount of domestic animals and livestock on their farm, turned over approximately 200 cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, ducks, chickens and turkeys to authorities on Tuesday.  The animals, malnourished and neglected, were voluntarily turned over to a local humane society and other facilities to be cared for.  It is un

Malnourished and neglected, a young dog was trying to find some warm shelter and perhaps a morsel of food when he was found hiding inside a homeowner's shed on Sunday night in the town of Cairo.  The responsible homeowner called the Greene County Sheriff's who took the animal to a local shelter where the sweet boy seems to be recovering quite well.  While the pup is on the mend, sheriffs are hopin

It's easy to see how a relatively small animal could get trapped under a vehicle and barricaded by snow during the massive storm we got this week.  But what's hard to comprehend, is how a 2-year-old kitty could survive such an ordeal in the harsh, cold conditions while trapped, scared and covered in snow. Meet "Jack Frost", the newly named furball who was brought into the Saratoga County
