West Chester Puppy of the Week: Rosie

WEST CHESTER, PA -- Submissions are in, and it's time for your weekly dose of local puppy.

This week we're featuring a handsome young lady named Rosie.

"This is our new puppy Rosie. She was born on 9/9/16. We adopted her on 11/4/16 when she was eight weeks old. We named her Rosalita after a Bruce Springsteen song and we call her Rosie. Rosie is a Silver Labrador and she is everything that you would expect a lab to be. She loves finding socks and gets very proud of herself when she brings them to you. The first picture is from the very first day home with us, her new family, The Fazios (8 weeks old). The second is her now and how she has grown (7 months old). She weighs 50 pounds. She is training to be a therapy dog. She graduated from puppy class on January 18th and has been in graduate school ever since then. She goes once a week for an hour. We are hoping to be able to have Rosie go in to nursing homes, hospice and hospitals to make people feel just a little bit better."
