A Boston Terrier Posed in the Cornfield Like He Owned the Harvest

AI imageboston terrierthanksgivingcornfield

Dry cornstalks rustle all around, their husks hanging in papery strips, and a black and white Boston Terrier named Domino sits calmly in the dirt between the rows. His ears stand up like little radar dishes, his white chest and paws stand out against the brown earth, and a few orange leaves are scattered by his feet. Far behind him a mailbox and a small house peek through the stalks, with a pumpkin or two dotting the yard.

Boston Terriers are compact, cheerful dogs, and fall is a lovely time for a walk. Still, a cornfield or a harvest display can have hidden hazards. Dry husks, cobs and stalks can be a choking or blockage risk if a dog chews them, and corn cobs especially cause trouble. Dry ground may also hide burrs, seed heads and ticks, so a quick check of the coat and paws after a walk is a good idea. Because Bostons have short noses, they can get tired in warm weather, so bring water and let them rest in the shade. A short, sniff-filled stroll suits them well.

Domino looks like a tiny scarecrow's best friend, sitting patiently and taking it all in. The harvest season suits him, with its earthy colors and its crisp air. It is easy to imagine him trotting back to the porch for a well-earned dinner.
