Jilli and her owner Rick had a great time being together and they found a special bond of friendship between the two of them. Rick soon realized that Jilli has the potential to do some dog tricks. Since then, Jilli started his career as a poker star as well as an entertainer. Jilli appeared and looked happy everytime she performs with her great friend, Rick.
Jilli retired at the age of 16 when her hearing and eyesight began to fail. In 2014, Jilli died in Rick’s arms and it was the saddest moment in Rick’s life.
