Monster Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

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

"Monster is a Chinese Crested Hairless dog, who lives up to his name every day. This cute little monster is 10 years old, although a puppy at heart. He knows how to skateboard, dance, put his toys away, close kitchen cabinets, and the list goes on.

This good boy is very motivated by treats. His breed is rare and not one many people recognize. Chinese Crested hairless dogs have hair only on their heads, tails, and paws. Their skin sun tans just like ours does.

He is black/dark in the summer with some spots, and once his tan fades, he is white. He needs thick clothes for cold weather, but enjoys it as long as he has his shoes on."

— Kasia from Bridgewater
