Dogs (And Other Creatures) Of The 2017 Boston Marathon

Not all spectators at the Marathon were human. The 2017 Boston Marathon brought out all kinds of creatures.

BROOKLINE - With the weather hitting the '70s on Marathon Monday, a number of spectators brought their furry friends to help them cheer the 2017 Boston Marathon runners as they made their way down Beacon Street.

Not all spectators were dogs. One woman brought her bunny, Cosmo, to watch the Marathon for the second year in a row.

"I thought it would just inspire the runners - if they saw this black fuzzy thing," said the bunny's human Paula Shevett, of Boston.
