Bella, a spirited border collie who’s celebrated all of her birthdays at Boris & Horton, was recently seen sitting quietly in her favorite corner, her eyes reflecting a sense of loss.

Bob, a pit bull, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound near the Lincoln Tunnel just hours after the announcement.
