Sippican Week already took a walk down memory lane with the top headlines of 2023 and the photos that best represented the last 365 days. But if there’s one thing the Tri-Town loves, it’s their furry friends.
From doggie costume contests to four-legged friends trotting down woodland trails, here are some of 2023’s goodest boys and girls.
