Piper Is Westfield's Pet Of The Week

WESTFIELD, NJ — Meet Piper! She has been chosen as Westfield Patch's Pet Of The Week.

"This is Piper - she is our almost 2 year old rescue mix here in Westfield. The pic with the teddy bear is when she was a baby and the other two are her fully grown (about 45 pounds).

She is extremely energetic, intelligent and mischievous and she is also very athletic and loves to play! We believe she is part Jack Russell terrier, part Greyhound and maybe part Labrador. She is a great companion to her three human siblings!"

— Jess Cortes, Westfield
