Rollo is a 12-year-old pug who was adopted five years ago by a veterinarian named Loni Ellsworth. Ellsworth knew that Rollo would make a good service dog. According to her, Rollo wasn’t the brightest dog she trained but he surely has a lot of love to give.

Rollo is 90% deaf. He sits by patients’ bedsides at St. Croix Hospice and lets them hold his paw. Ellsworth says that Rollo triggers past memories of patients and they get to open up about their whole lives.

If you are interested in becoming a pet therapy volunteer at St. Croix Hospice, you can contact the facility.
