Legacy of the Boston Marathon’s beloved official dog lives on

For years after the Boston Marathon bombing, runners could spot Spencer the dog cheering them on with a flag that read “Boston strong.” After he died last year, two new dogs will now take his place to inspire runners. NBC News’ Hallie Jackson highlights the hometown hero’s story and his lasting impact on the races to come.
