Larry Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

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

"My dog’s name is Larry and he's almost 9 years old. He is a Great Pyrenees and was a rescue. Larry loves getting petted on his head and having his nose scratched. If you stop petting him, he uses his nose to wedge it under your arm and lifts your arm to let you know he doesn't want you to stop.

We live in Bridgewater and he enjoys going for walks in our neighborhood, going to the dog park in Bedminster, and driving over to Natirar for longer walks. My son has autism and he likes to drop cheerios on the floor and watch Larry lick the up. Even though Larry can bark too much, we love him and his a big part of our family."
