It may look like Bernie Collins of White Mountain Highway in Milton is taking his 5-year-old miniature schnauzer, Abner, for a walk on Charles Street this Memorial Day weekend, but it’s really just the opposite. “He makes me take him every day, he demands it rain or shine,” says Collins. The pair can be seen making their milelong trek nearly every day, regardless of the weather. Abner insists on it. (Harrison Thorp photo)
