Georgie Is Clark-Garwood's Pet Of The Week

CLARK/GARWOOD, NJ — Meet Georgie! She has been chosen as Clark-Garwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Georgie was a bad girl and ran outside on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 10. This is especially scary because Georgie is blind!

After a post on Facebook, the entire Garwood community around 3rd and 4th avenues in Garwood came together to search for Georgie, including politicians who stopped campaigning to join in the search.

Finally, on Monday, Oct. 12 in the afternoon, Georgie was found on Gallows Hill Road, much to the elation of her owner, Mary Ferris.

Attached is a photo of Georgie toweling off from her rain-soaked adventure shortly after she arrived home, happy as can be, without a care in the world, as if nothing had happened at all."
