Have you ever been to the fields by the Chestnuthill reservoir? I’ve seen like thousands of goose poops there at times and everyone avoids it like the plague. It’s disgusting and for some reason it’s like candy to dogs 🤢

Sure but I don’t think the dog owners who lost their pet would stop and think to contact the media. They’d first call shelters, alert the microchip co, vets office and the police station.

But real question, would the media be interested? Is that something they should do? Is there a line to call?

The pessimist in me thinks the media only picked it up bc it was in beacon hill $$. Would they care if it was a lost dog from Lynn?

Last year in Allston, I ran into my friends mom frantically looking for her dog (a small Yorkie). They were at a park and the last thing she saw was a women petting her dog. She didn’t think anything of it and answered a text. The next thing she knew the dog was gone. When I saw her she had been searching for an hour. I called vets, shelters and the local police station and left my info with them. 5 hours later a women called me saying she found the dog roaming the streets in Watertown and that she picked it up bc it looked lost. I drove her to pick up the dog in Newton and they basically asked her for money for the dogs return. She was so shaken up that she just paid the women, no questions asked but I found the whole thing suspicious.

1. The dog’s pretty clingy to her and never wonders far and 2. Why didn’t the women just call the number on the dog collar when she initially found it? There’s a lot of sketchy people who do sketchy things for unknown reasons.. mostly money

I’d say Norm in Brookline but it was his wife’s decision

Twin donuts is my favorite. No frill, reasonably priced, good donuts. You have to go early, they run out pretty fast. At least of the ones I like
