The Fidelis mascot. RIP Murph Dog (2018)! Murphy was a huge part of the Fidelis journey. He came to the office daily after he became paralyzed in 2013. However, no one ever told Murphy he was paralyzed. Murphy was born the same year Fidelis was born in 2008. In 2013 he injured his back while playing ball, after repeat visits to the Vet and surgery they could not save the use of his back half of his body. After two weeks of being paralyzed, he lifted his back half off the ground and began walking around on his front legs. After that, the stairs were accomplished, ball throwing and daily walks in his cart (wore out too many tires to count). In many ways Murphy was Fidelis. His never quit attitude, love for his people, and his identity of being different are all characteristic we pride ourselves on at Fidelis.
