BOSTON — A moooving scavenger hunt came to an end Saturday.

Jodi Dwyer and her dog Finley visited the 75th and final cow as part of the Herb Chambers CowParade, recognizing the 75th anniversary of the Jimmy Fund.

Finley, a therapy dog, and Jodi, an oncology worker at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, set out to visit all 75 painted cow statues placed around Boston this summer as part of a viral scavenger hunt. The parade of painted bovines between The Herb Chambers Companies and The Jimmy Fund has generated more than $1 million to support The Jimmy Fund since the tradition began 8 years ago.

“I’m really thrilled to be part of the CowParade,” said Herb Chambers, founder of The Herb Chambers Companies. “We have had a wonderful relationship with the Jimmy Fund going back many years. It’s a very exciting time and I think this is a pretty unique opportunity for Dana Farber, for the CowParade, and for us as well.”

The statues will be up throughout Boston through September 4.
