5 Reasons Why Boston Terriers Are So Doggone Amazing
Casey Clarke

Last February, an incredible addition came into my family. My neighbor, who helps a local dog rescue, fostered a Boston Terrier named Maggie who was found wandering the streets of a neighboring county. Since my parents and I are huge dog-lovers, we had been wanting to adopt a brother or sister for our Toy Poodle, Anastasia. Our neighbor brought Maggie over to see if she would bond with Anastasia, and then she never left our home. While I have not been a Boston Terrier owner for long, I have fallen deeply in love with Maggie and the entire breed. So, here are five reasons why Boston Terriers are so incredible.

1. They are so adorable

Casey Clarke

With their large eyes, smooshed-in noses, and pointed ears, Bostons are the perfect definition of "so ugly they're cute." Their black and white markings are both iconic and adorable, they have the cutest smile, and their eyes light up (and practically bulge out of their head) every time they are excited about something.

2. They’re full of energy

Casey Clarke

Don't let their small stature fool you; these dogs are extremely energetic. My Boston, Maggie, almost always wants to run outside or play with a toy. She is always ready to run, jump, and spin her way through our house. Also, she will always stop to play with a toy if it is in her line of sight.

3. They love to snuggle

Although Bostons do have a lot of energy, they also are ready to snuggle at almost any given moment. Once the sun goes down, Maggie will barely get off the couch. She loves to burrow under the covers or lay next to someone. Aside from the occasional snore, she is an amazing cuddle bug.

4. They are very quirky

Along with all of their cuteness, Boston Terriers have their fair share of quirkiness. Along with just being very hyper, Maggie will sometimes spontaneously run in circles or bounce around the house. She also has a morning routine where she rolls around on the floor as soon as she gets out of her bed. While many quirks are specific to the dog, some of them are universal across the breed. For Bostons, it has to be their unique (and hilarious) voice.

5. They will love you forever

Casey Clarke

Despite the small size of these dogs, Bostons both have and show so much love for their humans. Maggie has always shown me and my family nothing but love and kindness. She always wants to play, snuggle, or show affection to someone. While she has not been with me and my family for long, she has both given and received an immense amount of love, and I could not be happier to have her in my family. If Maggie is anything like other Boston Terriers, I know for certain that they are an amazing breed.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
