MAN’s BEST FRIEND. Boe is still being mourned by his owner in Mimico. Photos by Ian Robertson.
A NICE note for Boe by his beloved owner.
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.
