What began as a 2008 Make-A-Wish North Dakota trip for Ellen, who had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, turned into a 15-year partnership touching the lives of hundreds of people across North America.
Rosebud, a puppy who had starred in the movie “Santa Buddies,” which Ellen watched being filmed near Vancouver, British Columbia, as her wish from Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Dakota experience, turned 14 in early August and enjoys the life of a North Dakota farm dog.
The most wonderful part of Ellen's 2008 wish from Make-A-Wish North Dakota was that it didn’t end with our return to our Larimore, North Dakota, farm. Anna, who knew that Ellen and Rosebud had bonded on the Santa Buddies movie set, gave her Rosebud and arranged to have the puppy flown to Winnipeg on Dec. 17.
