Kobe Is Scotch Plains-Fanwood's Pet Of The Week

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ — Meet Kobe! He has been chosen as Scotch Plains-Fanwood Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"Woof! My name is Kobe and I'm a Shihpoo puppy. I'm already 10 weeks old; I know I’m a pretty big boy. Although I've only been with my family for a couple of weeks, I've secured my spot as the cutest and most loved member of the family!.

Some of my favorite activities to do include biting toys, biting hands, eating leaves, smelling absolutely everything and getting belly rubs. If you see me around town, don't be shy, I'm searching for some fur-ends!"

— Natasha Vega, Scotch Plains
