CIS Dog of the Day – Meet Olaf!

Get to know the dogs in the neighborhood!  Our new series – CIS Dog of the Day –  will feature a new dog from the neighborhood.

Olaf is quite the dog about town. He’s the Reading Therapy Dog at the Condon Library and has made appearances at the South Boston BPL and other libraries in the area. As a registered visiting volunteer therapy dog, Olaf also visits hospital patients and senior citizens in a memory care unit, shaking paws and doling out snuggles and sloppy puppy kisses.

Name:

Olaf Connelly

Birthday:

August 5th, 2020 (Happy Birthday! )

Hobbies:

“I enjoy swimming and snuggling, paddle boarding, and digging holes in the sand! And woofing at seagulls on Castle Island!”

Favorite Treat:

“The fish treats at Polka Dog, but I’ve never turned down a hotdog from Sully’s.”

Any particular life goals?

“It is my heart’s desire to walk downtown and to chase the BIG-BIG birds on the pond!” (AKA the Swan Boats. That’s a hard “no,” Olaf!)

And what do you enjoy most about living in Southie?

“I was recently promoted at my job: You’re looking at the new Director of Stick Management at Castle Island. I find all the sticks, and shred them to pieces!”

What a good boy!

Thank you to Erin for sharing this with us!
