CHOP’s First Full-Time Facility Dog, Dilly, Retires After Six Years

Philadelphia,
PA -

Dilly, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s first full-time facility service dog, has officially retired after six years of bringing comfort and companionship to young patients and their families.

The yellow Labrador joined CHOP in 2020 and dedicated approximately 12,000 hours to supporting children during hospital stays, helping ease anxiety and provide emotional support.

Now transitioning into full-time V.I.P. (Very Important Pet) status, Dilly will enjoy a well-deserved retirement filled with naps and treats, leaving behind a lasting legacy at the hospital.
