Peppa Teetu Is Springfield's Pet Of The Week

SPRINGFIELD, NJ — Meet Peppa Teetu! She has been chosen as Springfield Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Peppa Teetu from Springfield. She is a two year old Chiweenie that has accomplished and experienced so much in just her 26 months so far!

Peppa started her journey in Alabama where she was rescued and brought to our family as a newborn! She immediately became best friends with her human sister Lola. They are inseparable. Some of their favorite activities include going to the park, playing dress up, sledding, relaxing on pool rafts together, and watching movies together, especially Zootopia or Frozen.

Peppa, although small in stature, is a true guard dog and has learned to protect her entire family from the mailman, neighbors enjoying a friendly stroll, birds, squirrels, and even the wind. She is one of a kind but that’s what make her the most special dog in the world.

She is sweet, loving and most of all the best heat blanket each night to keep us warm. We may have rescued Peppa Teetu but she really has changed our lives forever."
