Roq has met several dogs in his travels aboard Swingin' on a Star but he seems to have formed a special bond with Dante. Dante did a good job of defending his end of the dock but always had time to come down to visit Roq. Dante is an athletic 4 year old Jack Russell. Roq is a decrepit 12 year old something or other (consensus is Sheppard, Blue Healer, Coyote). Dante was too respectful to jump on another boat uninvited and Roq was too old to jump off, but they still managed to spend time together.
