Haydes Is Manville's Pet Of The Week

MANVILLE, NJ — Meet Haydes! He has been chosen as Manville Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Haydes. My husband and I rescued him from a bad situation about 10 years ago. He's now about 12 years old .

He's a toy poodle, blind in one eye and nearly deaf. He is very well behaved, and very aristocratic.
When I got him my husband said it was a girly dog and poodles were just not a man's dog. I said I'd make him not look like a poodle and as you can see, he's unique. The colors wash out and are non-toxic.

I once fell in front of him and he started freaking out and barking, running around looking for I guess someone to help me, reminded me of Lassie for what he was trying to do."

— Lisa Payne and Dave Griswold, Manville
