Boston’s most famous dogs support the Marathon runners, too
No Marathon post of yours will be as cute as these.
It’s customary for people in Boston to show social media solidarity with Marathon runners each year as they power along the 26.2-mile route.
Monday morning, some of Boston’s most Instagram-famous dogs participated in that online buzz, paws-ing to show their support for this year’s runners.
Here’s Sir Harvard Dangerfield, a Samoyed with a following of over 25,000, sitting pretty near the finish line:
