This week’s issue goes to the dogs…and cats…and all the animals. The Cover Story is on J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue. Teri Barr brings us stories on how pets and people help each other, and Radio for Pets. We’ll look at the adoptable pets at the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. Peter and Tracy Fluke explain how to stay safe when walking or biking in the winter. We’ll look back in time with the Richland County Historical Society. Meteorologist Brittney Merlot looks at how pets deal with the cold. And a heartfelt recollection of the best dog, ever, by Amanda Nimmer with a message about not giving up on pets.
