Lucia, 5, a kindergartener from Newton, gave Henry a hug.

“It’s a very relaxed environment,” said her mom, Susana Delasota. “I like it very much.”

“I liked his personality,” said Lucia after her session was over.

It was Lucia’s third time at a Dog B.O.N.E.S. session. She has started trying to read to their new puppy at home, said Delasota with a laugh, but the puppy doesn’t quite stay still enough.
