Halpa can be found in a small shop to the southeast along the main path that encircles the middle bluff. This pet is only sold to horde characters. Alliance characters may purchase this pet through a neutral auction house and on occasion through their own auction house.

Breanni Says:

Prairie dogs are very small — possibly the smallest pets available. I find them to be the perfect size for a gnome like me! Ironically, they’re sold by the tauren, the largest race in Azeroth. I weep for the prairie dogs that regularly get smooshed by clumsy tauren. Come to think of it, I weep for the gnomes that regularly get smooshed by clumsy tauren. Poor Binky...

This pet just doesn't seem to fit as well as the other town pets fit. A Plainstrider or Baby Kodo might have been a better choice.

Despite being one of the easier pets to obtain, I found this one to be one of the cuter pets. The facial grooming is really adorable and fairly frequent, and I rarely see other Alliance players with a prairie dog out. I still commonly have people ask where to obtain it.

The prairie dog was the greatest pet in the game for Druids and Rogues. Not sure when they changed it, but WAY back when it was combat active, or players and mobs could attack it.

Taking it out in Felwood and then seeing it run crazy for a split second as a wolf ran over to eat it was great fun. Or killing someone’s prairie dog was just too much fun.
I think this little guy sent us both down the path of collecting every pet to see what cool things you could do with them.
