Timelapse Footage Shows Hundreds of Golden Retrievers at Boston Marathon Meetup

Hundreds of golden retrievers gathered for the second annual Golden Strong event on Sunday, April 14, a day ahead of the Boston Marathon.

The event was held in honor of Spencer and Penny, dogs known for supporting runners, after their deaths from cancer last year.

Footage recorded by photographer Arthur Mansavage shows a timelapse of the golden retrievers and their families walking together in the Boston Commons.

According to the organizers, MA Golden Meetups, roughly 600 people and 350 golden retrievers attended the event at Boston Common. The gathering raised money for Morris Animal Foundation’s research on hemangiosarcoma “with hope that someday the golden breed will no longer be plagued by cancer like it is today,” the organizers said.
