Coco Is Bridgewater's Pet Of The Week

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Meet Coco! He has been chosen as Bridgewater Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"My dog's name is Coco. He is a mini schnauzer originally from Ecuador but came to the states as a gift from my parents to my nephew and I. He is now 2 years old and filled with so much energy and love. He brings so much joy and fun into the house with all his tricks and unconditional love that he gives us in the process.

Coco isn't afraid to stand up for himself and protect the people that he loves. You can say that he is like our guard dog but when he is off duty he loves to play catch and run around in our backyard. My family and I love him so much!"

— Michelle Jimenez and Family, Martinsville
