Rover of Hartford CT - A New England Legends Podcast

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.
