Tiki Is Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK-GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Tiki! He has been chosen as Clark-Garwood 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)

"On April 22 my husband and I picked up a 4 month old, 9 pound rescue dog, a terrier mix. When we first met him I picked him up and he hugged and kissed me. He sat on my lap the entire time we filled out the adoption papers. He's the most affectionate, loving puppy I ever met.

He's a great distraction from what's been happening these days with the pandemic. He very rarely barks and howls only when playing or demanding to eat. He's already crate and potty trained, sits and loves to give you his paw. My husband named him Tiki. Turned out to be the best decision we've made in a long time."

— Nancy Morris, Clark
