Golden Retrievers Pay Tribute to Boston Marathon's Top Dog at Finish Line
TL;DR Summary
Hundreds of golden retrievers and their owners gathered in Boston Common to honor Spencer, the official dog of the Boston Marathon, who died in February at age 13 from an inoperable cancer. Spencer gained fame as an enthusiastic spectator at Mile 3 of the marathon course who dutifully held a Boston Strong flag as runners stopped for photos. The event was organized by MA Golden Meetups as a tribute to Spencer and Penny, one of his litter mates’ offspring, who also died from cancer a week after Spencer.
