Matilda Is Cranford's Pet Of The Week

CRANFORD, NJ — Meet Matilda! She has been chosen as Cranford Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Matilda.

Matilda is a little long coat Chihuahua who lives on the North Side of Cranford. Her favorite activity is walking into town where she likes to stop at Track 5 Coffee shop. On a nice day she can be found sitting outside the Coffee shop on her mom Michele's lap and is greatly admired by those passing by. Matilda is welcomed nearly everywhere.

Matilda is pretty well known for her happy, friendly personality, her little wardrobe and the fact that when she is tired of walking she asks to be picked up and put into her stroller. She also loves to go to Nomahegan park. She is a wonderful little dog and a loving and devoted companion."

— Michele O'Brien, Cranford
