Willie Is Bernardsville-Bedminster's Pet Of The Week

BERNARDSVILLE/BEDMINSTER, NJ — Meet Willie! He has been chosen as Bernardsville-Bedminster Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Willie is a 2.7 year old mix of an Old English Sheepdog with we think Basset Hound influence.

He loves other dogs, people and riding in the car. He is very smart and learns routines rapidly. We walk around The Hills every day and Willie is usually greeted by smiles and wagging tails.

We drive in the car and Willie hangs out the window with both arms like a train engineer. As soon as the car approaches 15 mph, Willie drops back in to the car. Driving with the top down, we asked Willie to wear “goggles” and surprisingly he wore them cheerfully, as shown in the YouTube video."

— Gary M. Weiner, Bedminster
