Nude Dog Walkers Clash With Cops In Hopkinton: Patch PM

HOPKINTON, MA — It's a sweltering hot July 28, and the state is in the second day of a heat advisory. The good news is that the rest of the week looks like it should cool down from the extreme highs we saw this weekend. The not so good news is that "cool down" means only to the 80s.

Here are the stories Patch has been keeping an eye on today in the MetroWest and Worcester areas:

A Hopkinton couple decided to take their dog for a stroll on Monday with nothing on other than a leash in hand. The naked couple drew attention from neighbors who called the police on Hayden Rowe Street. The incident ended with the couple getting into a scuffle with officers.
