Carmelo Is Hillsborough's Pet Of The Week

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

"Meet Carmelo From Hillsborough. Carmelo is six years old and provides happiness and fun to anyone who spends time with him. He is always excited to see his family or anyone that visits his home. Some of Carmelo’s special traits is that he asks for dinner when he is hungry with friendly barking. He also enjoys making trips upstairs one long step at a time in order to see his family at bedtime and loves car rides while being held on someone’s lap. This Hillsborough 10-pounder is truly a one-of a kind special pet!"

— Suzy DiIorio, Hillsborough
