Bob is a 5-year-old Goldendoodle who joined Tufts Medical Center in August of 2020. This year, we welcomed Dottie, a one-and-a-half-year-old golden retriever who came on board in May 2023.

Both are hospital facility dogs who came to us through the generous support of Tufts Medical Center donors.

Bob and Dottie are hardworking full-time employees of the Medical Center who can be found walking our hospital halls on any given day, visiting patients, family members and staff. They are calming, offering solace and compassion to all they encounter.
