Enjoy doggie-inspired treats for humans, listen to stories of seafaring hounds, sing along to shaggy shanty tunes, and meet a real Navy Yard work dog! Then follow Guerriere’s paw prints to our upstairs exhibit, All Hands on Deck: A Sailor’s Life in 1812, where you can join Guerriere and the rest of the crew and hoist a sail, fire a cannon, swing in a hammock and scrub the deck!

From 1:30-3:00 Tammy the dog, the star of the book Tammy Does Boston will join us for a special book signing – a “paw-tograph” session. Learn more about Tammy's adventures in Boston at www.tammydoesboston.com

***Please note: This event is for humans only, so kindly ask your four-legged friends to 'sit' and 'stay' at home. ***

Special thanks to the Highland Street Foundation for supporting this event through the Fun Free Fridays program.

More about Guerriere the Terrier: Guerriere was a rat terrier brought on board Ship in 1814 by Lt. Beekman Van Hoffman. He was a real member of the crew, doing his part to rid the ship of rats. He went above and beyond though by helping to haul on ropes and keeping an eye on the horizon to alert the crew to approaching sails.
