Pet of the Week: Monte is a very handsome boy who needs to go to special home where his people are home most of the time.

At Patch, Sunday morning means that it’s time to take look back at this week in Hopkinton news.

This week's Patch stories covered a variety of topics, but we had two stories that stood separate from the rest.
In Case you missed it, we had a lot of new stories on the site this week. We learned about some programs that the town has been working on and we talked to some great people around the town. At the Board of Selectmen meeting on Thursday they talked about merging the Hopkinton Fire Department together with the Ashland Fire Department. The conversation has been going on for a couple years and looks like the final phases of background research could be ready by the end of the year. We also had a fantastic piece about Dan Field who takes part in the Pan Mass Challenge every year to help raise money for the Jimmy Fund. Next week we have a lot of great content coming to you, including a profile on the woman who we picked as our social media page…
