It’s two days after Marathon Monday here in Boston, and thus a fine time to check in on, uh, a “happy, spirited dog” who ran with the race leaders in 1961, before wreaking havoc.
For a seemingly impossible distance of roughly 10 miles, the dog happily led the Norris-Oksanen-Kelley group. Then, as the trio approached the fatefully-named Lower Newton Falls, disaster struck.
After the race, Kelley the Younger defended the dog, and praised the gentlemanly actions of Englishman Fred Norris.
