A bronze memorial statue for one of the true legends of the Boston Marathon has been unveiled in the run-up to the 128th event on April 15th. But it’s not one of the race’s winners. Or anyone who ever run it, or even helped to organize it.
It’s for the the race’s most famous four-legged spectator – Spencer, the golden retriever, who for eight years barked encouragement to the runners taking part and was eventually named the official dog of the Boston Marathon.
