Arlington Pet of the Week: Bingsu

This week’s Arlington Pet of the Week is Bingsu, who is apparently named after a Korean dessert.

Bingsu’s favorite place to sleep is on top of a human. He’s new to Arlington, having been adopted in January, but he has settled in nicely to his Courthouse-area home.

Here’s what Bingsu’s owner, Amy, had to say about him.

Bingsu is a five month old terrier mix who came to Arlington earlier in January… and Wilson Boulevard has never been the same! He was adopted from Lucky Dog Rescue, and life has been on the up and up since then! Bingsu loves chewing on his toys, playing fetch, eating peanut butter, and sleeping on top of anyone who will let him. The only thing Bingsu hates is his crate, but he’s working on it. He hears VERY well with those big mouse ears, and is such a well behaved boy. His owner, a former cat lover, has quickly became obsessed with him. He loves his friends at Clarendon Animal Care, even though he woke up from surgery last week with something important missing. Bingsu loves to say hi, so if you see him around Courthouse, please look down and say hello!
