St Roch was marked with a red cross on his chest at birth. When his parents died he inherited great wealth which he gave to the poor and devoted his life to helping the plague-stricken and sick. His miraculous powers were known to have cured many with the, “Sign of the Cross”. St Roch recovered with the aid of a dog who took food from his masters table to feed him. This led to his being named the patron saint of dogs.
