She’s got the curly hair,” Finnegan says with a smile. “I think that’s the sweetest thing.” Photography by Whitney J. Fox.

Rover Ref Shelly Finnegan (center) of Medford, who ushers Snickers in, says “She’s very sweet. She’s very pleasant and she gets along with every dog in the room. Any room you ever put her in, she’s never aggressive. She’s very, very sweet. Her temperament is very mild and she’s probably a perfect dog if anyone wants a lap dog. She doesn’t bark that much.” Finnegan jokes, “What’s funny about her is when she sits in certain positions on the couch. She looks like she’s posing for a picture.” Photograph by Whitney J. Fox.

November 6, 2007 - Libby Oates, a cockapoo (cocker spaniel and poodle), watches the pouring rain with Rover Ref Shelly Finnegan of Medford during her walk from Doggie Day’s Playcenter in Boston’s South End on Tuesday. The rain put a damper on Libby’s usual walk around the neighborhood. “It’s funny when she’s wicked happy. She’s got a little nubby tail and it goes fifty million miles per hour and it just wags,” Finnegan says. “She’s very sweet… If I could take her home I would.” Photograph by Whitney J. Fox.

Rob Galeski, the owner of Doggie Day, says, “She’s just a cute, cute dog and gets along well with everybody. She’s very sweet. She’s very well behaved. Her mom took time in training her, which some owners don’t do. She’s just very well trained and just a sweet dog in general.” Photograph by Whitney J. Fox.
