OK, But What’s in the Bag? This may be the Chinese Year of the Dog, and Noe Valley has plenty of furry friends, but they’re still outnumbered by kids. Here, an unidentified Boston terrier puts up with the attention of a gathering of 2-year-olds on 24th Street. From left to right, the kids are Steyn Cools (in hat), Galen Lui Heuer, Eleanor Becker (with dog), Priita Peterson, and Eli Morris-Weide. Photo by Pamela Gerard
