When you talk about comebacks, you can start with Captain, a 3-year-old rescue mixed breed who hails from Louisiana but is now a fixture at Wollaston Golf Club in Milton. When he arrived for his first summer with Bill Cahill, Wollaston's assistant superintendent, Captain (at left) had heartworm and required crate rest to be treated. Arduous as that was, Captain recovered splendidly. When most of us were in our pandemic lock-down last summer, Captain started going to work with Cahill and he's there nearly every day, usually running alongside the boss' golf cart.

Chasing squirrels and geese is a favorite pastime (good boy, Captain) and he knows to use the woods should nature call (really, good boy, Captain). Most uncanny, said Cahill, is Captain's ability to make friends with the members – especially the ones most likely to offer him treats.
