Piper Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Piper! She has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"Hi, this is Piper, my first dog. She is a Bishon Frise and Shih Tzu mix, often referred to as a 'Teddy Bear.' She turned a year old on May 10.

After my husband passed away I felt the need for a companion. Piper is a sweetheart. She loves her walks and greets everyone that passes by. Her favorite game is running after her squeaky ball and bringing it back so I can throw it again. Piper loves to sit on my lap and give kisses."

— Ann Smith, Bridgewater
