George Is Basking Ridge's Pet Of The Week

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Meet George! He has been chosen as Basking Ridge Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"George is a retired seeing eye dog, which is now the official state dog of New Jersey! George is a 9 year old yellow lab who loves hanging out with his best pals, Peter (6.5), Gerry (4.5) and Marie (3).

He loves playing street hockey and baseball with us, crushing some balls along the way. George enjoys hanging out with Marie in the yard, going for walks and discovering where the treats are hidden in the garage. He has been a wonderful addition to our family!"

— The Wilson Family
