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

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

"Coco is a wonderful member of our family, a 3-year-old mix of mini Poodle and Golden Retriever. She is sweet and protective. She barely weighs 20 pounds. Coco rarely barks but will growl when she senses someone strange at the door. She warms up to people quickly when she realizes they are friendly.

Sometimes Coco has thick, very light gold fur when she is due for her grooming, but we do love her look just after a clipping, especially with a colorful bandana. Coco likes to wrestle with her family and jumping up high to retrieve her toys from our hand. Life is so much more fun with her in our home."

— Chris Ellison, Scotch Plains
