CHICAGO — Pets are a major part of people’s lives, and sometimes after death.

It seems that there are a lot of dogs that are not forgotten by their owners when they pass away, with canines being named a beneficiary in wills.

How often is this happening?

We discussed that on the “6@6” on Tuesday’s WGN Morning News as the hosts gave their thoughts on this recent trend.

We also discussed Cher’s secrets, polenta, “paragraph texters,” fall cleaning, and more during the segment.
