Gotcha Date: December 29th 2011 Birthday: December 29th 2009 Likes: Attention, belly rubs, going in the car, food hand-outs, playing like a wild doggy, lounging, the couch Pet-Peeves: Being left home alone, getting examined at the vet's, the evil flea and tick spray bottle, when Mommy tries to get the sleepers out of his eyes Favorite Toy: Rope toys that we can play tug with :) Favorite Food: Probably hotdogs or tablefood. Benji is so picky with his treats now. He has to thoroughly examine everything before he decides to eat it. Favorite Walk: Anywhere new with doggies and interesting smells. (He goes pretty wild though, so it's probably our least favorite walk, haha). Best Tricks: Benj is a pro at "leave it." He'll refuse to take a treat if you tell him to leave it, even if you shove it in his face. :P Arrival Story: We found Benji on Petfinder, and drove up to Mechanicsburg PA to meet him at a Petsmart on December 29th, 2011. Benji came from the Castaway Critters organization, and was originally named Buster. However, that was just a placeholder name that he didn't really even know or respond to, so we decided to call him "Benji." :) After meeting him at the Petsmart, we filled out the forms and brought him home! Bio: We're not really sure what breed Benji is, but he was listed as a Collie/Shepherd mix when we got him. However, we recently went to a local pet store, where the owner looked through this big book of dog breeds to help us identify what breed Benji is--and there was this one dog that looked exactly like Benji! It was some really rare Slovenian dog called a "Karst Shepherd." Who knows if our Benj is really a Karst Shepherd or not (probably not)--but either way, we still love him. (Karst Shepherds are so rare that it's not even a registered breed on Dogster!) The Groups I'm In: !!!
