In Bushwick, we love our pets. SRSLY, how many people do you know here who have a furry, fishy or scaly best friend? So every week we’ll be featuring a Bushwick pet to show just how great all of these guys are. If you’d like your pet to be featured, please fill out this form, and your pet might be the next one! Now for the first up! Leeroy.
