Dog: Louie, a two and a half year old Yorkipoo, who, if you see on Beecher Street, will bark at you because that’s his street. He owns it. That’s right, all of it. So back off.

I met Louie, and his human Whitney, outside the Boylston Street City Feed. I have no doubt that this will be a frequent pick-up spot for me and Arlo. Louie’s official name is Louis P. Pennybaker. As it should be. Whitney and her partner, recently moved apartments in order to adopt Louie from a friend of theirs in Wisconsin, because they couldn’t have him at their old apartment. Now, that’s dog love.
