Over 100 golden retrievers and their owners walked a mile in honor of Spencer, the official Boston Marathon dog who died earlier this year. 💛
Dubbed the “Boston Marathon Golden Retriever Meetup,” the dogs and their owners got together for a special walk that ended at the finish line on April 16, one day before the Boston Marathon.
The dogs that came out in honor this weekend wore yellow bandanas that said, “Golden Strong,” with a dollar for each bandana sold donated to the Morris Animal Foundation's canine cancer research. The response to the event was so overwhelming, in fact, that registration was closed a week before the meetup took place. Organizers say they would like the event to become a tradition that continues to grow.
