Where's The Bostons?

I am seeking Boston Terriers to be photographed for my essay called "Where's The Bostons?" It will take a look at why Bostons are so loved by their owners and why this "True American Breed" is not as popular as it once was. This breed needs to be seen for all of its loving qualities. And that it is the best companion dog in America, or anywhere for that matter. If you own a Boston Terrier you know what I mean.

Back in1865, when the coachmen of Beacon Hill, in Boston, Massachusetts, began to crossbreed the upper classes' pedigreed dogs, did they have any idea of the loving dog they were to help create? Probably not. Most dogs at that time were work or sport dogs. The Boston has become neither, yet much more. And, as any Boston Terrier owner will tell you, this fine Gentleman or Lady of
dogs, would have it no other way.

As it is important to me to show how wonderful Boston Terriers are, I also want to educate people on the importance of not seeing any pet as a toy or property. They are loving creatures. If you are not going to show or breed a pet, adoption or rescue is the best way to go. There are many Boston Terriers to rescue. Here are just a few links to take a look at to find a wonderful, loving Boston Terrier.
