Fitzgerald Is Princeton's Pet Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Fitzgerald! He has been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My boyfriend Eric and I would like to nominate our 9-week old puppy, Fitzgerald, as Princeton's Pet of the Week! He's named after F. Scott Fitzgerald who attended Princeton back in the 1900s. You can find Fitz walking on his leash around Princeton Junction.

Fitzy is an adorable Golden Doodle pup — he's still getting the hang of potty training but in the short week we've had him, he's learned commands like sit, stay, down, come, paw and wait (to eat). Fitzgerald brings so much love, happiness, and excitement to our lives and could not imagine a different canine baby in our family."

— Kelsey Marchesano, Princeton
