Heartbroken over the loss of two beloved elderly dogs, Suzanne’s supportive mother and sister-in-law encouraged her to search for a Boston Bulldog (aka Boston Terrier) puppy.  Suzanne saw several adorable puppies online and wanted to take them all home! Until she stumbled upon Dolly. It was love at first sight!

Playful, affectionate and exceptionally intelligent, Dolly was so sweet and easy to train that people felt there was something otherworldly and mystical about her. That is why ‘Dolly the Boston Bulldog’ became known as ‘Dolly the Boston Buddha’!

This is Dolly four days after she arrived. She had already learned to sit and give her paw. Cute, n’est ce paw?

Dolly was 13 weeks old in this photo. She had also learned to ‘stay’, fetch toys, and ask for the door.

Today, Dolly the Boston Buddha dazzles her fans with amusing stunts, including her ‘Dolly Diva’ routine, closing kitchen drawers and locating ‘Dolly’s Bench’ in her favourite park. She also loves to play soccer with the kids.

The adorable Canine Buddha also spreads love, kindness and joy on TaoOfDolly.com! The Tao of Dolly is her principle of universal compassion.
