With a wagging tail and warm heart, Rory the Golden Retriever brings smiles to everyone he meets—from seniors at Goodwin House, to kids at Carpenter’s Shelter and the Model Secondary School for the Deaf, to the brave officers of the U.S. Capitol Police. Making friends is his superpower and wherever he goes, Rory spreads joy, comfort, and connection.
