And with others who are missing their dogs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_9850\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our Poppy has a serious bench habit and she considers the Collins Memorial on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall as one big bench. Perfect for posing and sitting with her belly on the cool stone on a hot day.<\/p>\n

Sitting in the city parks, we meet a lot of visitors to Boston because they are drawn to Poppy. Two women were walking down the Mall last summer and one of them looked at Poppy and said, \u201cI miss my dog!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

 \"IMG_9950\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We invited her over for some surrogate puppy therapy and enjoyed learning a bit about her and how she was spending her time in Boston. Seeing the city through the eyes of visitors can make you appreciate what we have here. <\/span><\/p>\n

Noah is another neighborhood dog who is always ready to accept a few pats from a friend or a stranger. His smile and bright eyes could uplift anyone's day.<\/p>\n

Sharing your dog with those who miss theirs, because they are separated for a short time or because they've lost their companion animal, is a kindness. Open your mind to the concept, tune in your awareness to those around you, and you will be rewarded with smiles, good karma, and a dog who is well socialized and happy with an extra dose of love and attention.<\/span><\/p>\n
