Rosie Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

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

"Rosie was named after two Bruce Springsteen songs, so her real name is Rosalita Jersey Girl but we call her Rosie for short. Recently, Rosie was diagnosed with a cancer lesion on her back leg. After having the lesion removed in late February followed by a month of radiation therapy, Rosie finished her radiation therapy on April 1 and currently, Rosie is cancer-free. Rosie turned 12 in June."

— Dan, Terry, Christina, and (dog sister) Sandy of Bridgewater

Do you think your pet should be Bridgewater's Pet of the Week?

Participating in the Pet of the Week happenings is simple: submit your nomination by emailing alexis.tarrazi@patch.com with the subject line "Bridgewater Pet Of The Week." Be sure to include a photograph or two of your pet, a paragraph about what makes him or her so great, the town you're from, and your name.

Then just keep an eye out for a photo of your pet on the Patch!

The photo can be of a present pet, or it can be a baby picture of the adult pet you're so proud of today. All photos must be the property of the submitter. By submitting a photo to Patch the submitter agrees to give permission for it to be published on Patch.

Additionally, selected winners each week will be given a free bag of Woof Gang dog or cat treats when they stop in Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming inside Bridgewater Towne Center at 732 US-202.
