Gunnar Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

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

"I would like to nominate my 5 year old Dogo Argentino, Gunnar. We rescued him off Craigslist when he was 2 months old covered in filth and really sick with worms. He is a 100 pound goofball and gentle soul. Loves playing in the leaves in the fall, snow in the winter and running through the creek in our yard when it’s hot out. He loves cuddling with my 15 month old son. They are truly best friends."

— Deanna McCriskin
