A joyous labradoodle could not hide its delight when he was finally allowed to reunite with his beloved neighbor – who he had not seen for two months because of COVID-19. One-year-old pooch Paul and his neighbor Christopher Gregorio, 79, share an unbreakable bond, as every time Paul is walked around the streets of South Boston, he keeps a lookout for Chris, who gives him treats. Paul knows the exact spot Chris will usually be, but since the second week of March he knew something was missing. Boston fell under stay-at-home orders in mid-March, and due to schedule changes, the neighborhood became very quiet. Paul was a misfit who was adopted by owners Alli and Dave Pearce because he did not look as fashionable as the other puppies in his litter. As the days went on, he was left saddened by not being able to see his friend. But then, on May 27, when Alli, 33, came around the corner by “Cumberland Farms,” on L Street and East 5th, she saw a familiar face.
