The Kiss of God
Once in a while a Boston is born with a dark circle on the top of the head, located in the middle of the white blaze. This marking is called a Haggerty Spot or Haggerty Star with lineage traced back to the original founding lines in the early 1900s.
Respected and honored judge and Boston breeder Vincent Perry considered it a perfect marking and “the kiss of God”.

If I like it, it's mine.
If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If I can take it from you, it's mine.
If it looks like mine, it's mine.
If I saw it first, it's mine.
If it's edible, it's mine.
If it's not edible, it's still mine.
If I chew something up, all of the pieces are mine.
If you have something and put it down, it's mine.
If I get tired of it, it's yours.
If I want it back, it's mine.
