Mom Thought “Furry Convention” Was for Dogs, and Hilarity Ensues

This was an honest mistake, right? Cheryl Wassus heard that the Motor City Furry Convention was coming to town, and she thought it would be a fun opportunity to take her therapy dog, Link, out and about.

Cheryl and Link attended the convention, and the pooch became the star of the Furry show! Take a look at the pics below.
