Tango and Piper
Mary and Jeff Herbert,
of Northbrook
Tango and Piper are
two rescue Pomeranians.
Tango is
12 years old and
Piper is 2. Despite their age difference, they have
a lot in common. They both love sleeping, eating,
snuggling with their humans, and barking at other
dogs. Tango can roll over, play dead, dance on his
hind legs, kiss on command, and balance stacks
of Cheerios on his nose. Piper on the other hand
still has a lot to learn from her big brother, but can
sit and look pretty. Both are also very excited to be
welcoming their first human sibling this July.
The Tower needs Pet of the Week submissions! To see your
pet featured as Pet of the Week, send photos and stories to
Martin at martin@northbrooktower.com or at 60 Revere
