Cooper Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Cooper! He has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"I'd like to nominate my dog Cooper for the pet of the week. We rescued Cooper in October 2018 from the Somerset Regional Animal Shelter as a puppy. Being our first family dog, we just didn't know what to expect and Cooper has far exceeded all of our expectations. He is full of life and full of energy!

Cooper absolutely loves to take walks or just play in the yard, especially with our seven-year-old son. My absolute favorite thing is how Cooper follows me around everywhere and just wants to cuddle on my lap. He's so sweet and so gentle. One of Cooper's other favorite things is taking rides in my car. He has a front row seat and nestles in on the center console as we drive along. This is the first dog I have ever owned and he is such a joy and a pleasure to have. We cannot imagine our lives without Cooper in it and feel so blessed to call him ours!"
