Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham Branch Mascot Rosie the Pig Passes Away

Dedham shelter manager Lisa Lagos thanks Dedham residents for all the love and kindness they've shown Rosie over the years.

 

The following was posted on the Animal Rescue League of Boston's blog Thursday afternoon and shared with Dedham Patch readers. 

We are sorry to tell you that today our beloved pig Rosie passed away after a short but serious illness. Rosie came to us on August 7, 2006 after being found in a crate outside Northeastern University. She quickly won our hearts and earned a home here in Dedham as our mascot. Her favorite food was watermelon and she loved nothing more than a good belly rub.

I take great comfort in the fact that, in the 6 short years that she spent with us, she learned what it meant to be a pig. She was well loved and will be sorely missed.
