Jack And Murphy Are Westfield's Pet Of The Week

WESTFIELD, NJ — Meet Jack and Murphy! They have been chosen as Westfield Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My pets are Jack and Murphy. They are both mixed breeds.

Jack is Norwegian Elkhound and Sheltie mix and is from Brooklyn.

Murphy is predominately Shih Tzu according to the rescue group we got him from but you would never guess it! He is from Nashville!

They are both about 8 years old. They enjoy a walk around Tamaques park or in our neighborhood every day. We live between Tamaques school and Edison Intermediate.

They enjoy seeing all the kids going to school and appreciate a quick pet! They love cold weather and are full of energy in the winter.

Both enjoy their wonderful life in Westfield with their 4 human brothers."
