December Pets of the Month: Teo and Beppe, Italian Charmers of Palisades! 🐾

Published December 4, 2024

On the sunniest hill in the Palisades neighborhood, two furry friends bring a touch of la dolce vita to their humans’ lives. Meet Teo and Beppe, our December Pets of the Month! These lovable brothers are fluent in the universal language of love—and maybe a little Italian, too.

Together: Different Yet Unstoppable

When strolling the neighborhood or dashing across sandy shores, everyone comments on their brotherly bond. While they share a snowy-white coat, these two are as different as pizza and gelato. Beppe is lean and fast, while Teo is stocky and prefers a leisurely pace. Despite their differences, they’re equally amorevole.

From their daily walks through Palisades to running on the beach or camping under the stars, Teo and Beppe prove that life is better when shared—with each other, their humans, and maybe a few furry friends along the way.

Salute to these lovable Italian charmers!
