Meet Loki

Say hello to Loki, our super-sweet therapy dog at Capitol Pediatrics! Loki is a black lab mix who was born in November 2024 and adopted by Dr. Przybylo in February 2025. He’s a happy pup who loves making new friends—especially kids!

When Loki isn’t busy giving tail wags and cuddles at the office, you can find him napping in the sunshine, fetching balls, catching frisbees, and playing with his family at home. His favorite things in the whole world are treats (especially hot dogs), belly rubs, and helping kids feel calm and happy during their visits.

Loki can’t wait to meet you and bring a little extra smile, comfort, and puppy love to your day!
