Spencer was known as the symbol of the Boston Marathon, holding a yellow and blue “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth as runners passed by. So when Spencer died of cancer, 100 Golden Retrievers honored his memory in a special way.
Spencer was known as the symbol of the Boston Marathon once he was spotted holding a special yellow and blue “Boston Strong” flag in his mouth as runners passed by on their way to the finish line.“I’m very emotional about this dog. He’s extremely special and I’m just glad we can share him with so many people,” his owner, Richard Powers, told reporters at the time.
For many years, Spencer was a watchdog of the Boston Marathon, sitting along the Ashland portion of the 26-mile trek. Although Spencer and his sister Penny recently passed, Runners will still see Spencer and his sister Penny along the route this April due to this tribute.
