Periwinkle the dog's profile describes her as a "total goofball who loves toys and being silly". We're more than happy to certify that statement as 100% true! Periwinkle entered the studio with her tail wagging, approaching anyone and everyone who might pet her. While she may be a goof, Periwinkle is also intelligent. She's ready to learn plenty of tricks. As long as you give her treats, that is.
Today, the Iowa Live team had the privilege of donating gifts for the Animal Rescue League's Tree of Life event. Periwinkle trounced off the set with a Christmas-themed dinosaur in her mouth. Learn more about the Tree of Life event below.
