INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each and every week, “Pet Pals TV” shares a fun, interesting, and informative story about our four-legged and furry friend population.

On the latest “Pet Pals TV,” Patty Spitler, host of “Pet Pals TV,” joined News 8 for a very special celebration – her dog Stewie’s 9th birthday bash!
