A circle of dark hair on top of the Boston's head (smack dab in the middle) is known as a Haggerty dot, spot or star, depending on who you ask. We just call it cute! Dogs with this special marking are descendants of one of the original lines of Boston terriers owned by the Haggerty family in the early 1900's, according to the Boston Terrier Club of America. Highly respected Boston terrier breeder and judge Vincent Perry called this mark "the kiss of God" and considered it a lovely addition to a dog's perfect markings.
