[Magdalen] arriving, South Station in Boston

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Wow...

Then the cynical side of me kicks in - the side who has heard so many 
stories lately about 'fake service dogs'  (used to be 'first in line', or 
get other preferential treatment, etc) wonders if something was *amiss* and 
that the HS dogs didn't know what to do when an animal was suddenly their 
target, not a human.
