Summary

We don't deserve dogs! Humanities best friend is truly, the dog. Today we delve into the story of Rover, a dog so loyal, he wouldn't leave the hospital where his master entered. History is populated with tales of dogs and their allegiance to their human families through life and sometimes well into death. Today, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger visit Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, to explore the story behind a small statue of a dog named Rover. The statue commemorates a dog who waited patiently for his owner to return after heading inside the hospital many years ago.

0:00.0	Oh, Ray. You brought your dog Margarita with you today. I did. I thought she could join us on our stroll through downtown Hartford, Connecticut. Is so, is she a golden? No, she's a lab, Permanese mix. Okay. All right. Well, hey, she's adorable, no question. And loyal to the end, I bet. Oh, she's a great dog.
0:40.7	So sweet. Always there to greet you when you come home. Well, I'm glad you brought her because today we're chasing the story of another dog over here by Hartford Hospital. Yeah, this hospital complex is huge. Yeah, yeah. There are hospital buildings all around us. So we're heading for the main entrance on Seymour Street. All right, I don't think I can go inside with the dog. Yeah, no need. We're actually going to stay outside today. Our destination is just right over there. Oh, that's cute. There's a black statue of a dog about the size of a lab, pretty similar in size to Margarita here. So that's Rover. A dog who waited outside of the hospital for his owner forever.
