Birthday: May 25th 2007 Likes: To be loved on Pet-Peeves: To be left outside with no company Favorite Toy: Anything that runs. Favorite Food: All of it. Favorite Walk: Anywhere. Benton loves a good walk. Best Tricks: Being a total goofball. Knocking things down. Arrival Story: I was volunteering at a shelter (isn't this how trouble always starts?) and there was this one dog that would throw himself up against the glass door and bark like he was going to rip you to pieces. I took him out to train him, and he was so playful and goofy. I quickly learned that his "please come play with me bark" sounded like "I want to tear you in two." NOBODY wanted this poor guy! He just wasn't making a good impression. So I took him home. Bio: Benton almost didn't have a home. He immediately marked my house and attacked one of my dogs. He remains a little schizo, but for the most part, he is a sweet, goofy boy who just wants ear scratchings. Forums Motto: OH BOY!!!!! I've Been On Dogster Since:
