Oh, Shea
Shea, a 2-year-old Boston Terrier, romps at Westport’s Compo Beach on Saturday.This is the last weekend of the season dogs are allowed at the beach—the ban goes into effect Tuesday until Oct. 1. Shea is owned by Brandy Stanton of Westport who named her dog in honor of New York’s Shea Stadium. She felt that while the stadium, now in its final season as home of the Mets, will be replaced next year by a new stadium with a new name, her dog will help keep the name Shea alive.
