Bandit Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Meet Bandit! He has been chosen as Hillsborough Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Bandit is a three and a half year old Bernedoodle from Tennessee. He now lives in Hillsborough with his family. He is an amazingly sweet snuggle puppy. He is 82 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog.

Bandit adores children especially his human 'cousins.' He makes us laugh everyday with his silly way. He loves going for hikes, playing soccer, going to the beach and jumping the waves in the ocean, gives great kisses and loves chasing squirrels and deer. Bandit is very smart. He can jump extremely high, much like a gazelle. He will be starting agility classes soon. We couldn't be any more lucky than to have Bandit in our lives."

— Elaine and Ed Schneider
