TRAVERSE CITY -- It's a newer winter sport that's growing in popularity with pet owners.  It's called skijoring and it brings skiing and walking your dog together.

Dr. Jen Klabunde explained how it all works during a morning interview on 7&4 News Today's Pet Talk segment.

Dr. Klabunde also talked about the best ways to keep your dog warm during the winter months to prevent frostbite and hypothermia.
