Gus Gus Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

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

"Gus Gus aka 'silly goose' is a 4 year old Shitzu rescue. When we found him he had been stepped on by one of the animals and they had not set his foot. He was filthy but after a bath and a haircut we uncovered the sweetest puppy friend.

He has no idea that he has a bad foot and it never stops him from greeting the neighbor or welcoming another dog to the neighborhood or chasing the squirrels out of his yard. He howls with his humans.

His favorite treat is meatballs and toy is Hedgy the hedgehog. However he is best at napping, hugging and cuddling, he could teach a masters class in these skills."

— Maria Schreiber of Bridgewater
