Buddy Is Princeton's Pet Of The Week

PRINCETON, NJ — Meet Buddy! He has been chosen as Princeton Patch's Pet Of The Week. (For a limited time Pet of the Week will run twice a week to bring some joy during the coronavirus pandemic)

"I'd like to nominate Buddy, as the dog of the week. Buddy is an almost 4 year old Golden Doodle who is incredibly smart and very caring, and surprisingly good at reading emotions. He rarely barks, unless he hears unrecognizable footsteps at the door, and growls when he sees strangers approaching my daughter when she walks him.

I recently had surgery and while trying to navigate crutches, I fell. Buddy came running to my rescue and kept licking my foot as I sign of his affection. He also makes my family laugh during these trying times. A good, faithful, friend (and 'sibling' to my daughter)."
