"When I moved to Colorado and I was getting ready to retire, I was thinking, 'You know, what am I gonna do when I retire? I’m not the sit on my behind and do nothing,'" said Carolyn Shovlowsky, a longtime volunteer at Sky Ridge.

Shovlowsky is accompanied most days by Breck, her loyal dog who brings joy to patients in even the toughest situations.
