Dear Editor,

While walking just after 6 p.m. today I spotted a small memorial to a dog named ‘Boe’ on Simpson Ave., beside Ogden Place, west of Royal York Road, in Mimico.

No one was around so I couldn’t ask for details, but thought you might like a photo.

I’ve never seen this type of memorial to a passed pet, and it seemed worthwhile. Touching, too!

There is a small flowering plant in a pot with a cardboard sign — ‘Boe/We miss your bark and your love’ — and a dog biscuit taped to it, placed on the curb in front of a large house, with larger lettering painted onto the pavement. That reads: “Dogs make us laugh Roe we miss you”

(There is a heart between ‘laugh’ and ‘we’ with the dog’s name above.)

I’m attached three photos for you to consider.

Cheers, Ian Robertson.
