Boston Terrier, Piper.

Wicked smart

Boston Terriers are as clever as canines come, says Lake Highlands resident Vera Shelby, and her dog Piper is no exception. “She’s boundary trained in our front yard, sits in the entry until she’s told to come outside — unless, of course, someone is coming up the walk and then she is the official greeter. Piper loves cooling off in her backyard pool and comes running when she hears the click of her leash.” As this photo is snapped, Piper is saying, “OK, you’ve read the paper. Now put down that magazine and come play.” (Thanks to Shelby for that interpretation.)
