Hello Ben, it's a pleasure to meet you. What a handsome dog you and sweet too! I read the article about you with interest and think it's wonderful that you were adopted and have had a loving home for many years. A stray named Annie came to our house 8 years ago and she is very sweet and gentle and I could never understand why someone threw her away. I guess we are the lucky ones to have a kind sweet loyal dog in our family. Ben you sound as if you are a terrific boy and a loving companion. I liked all the photos but that one of the three of you is absolutely beautiful! I hope all of you have many more happy healthy years with your family. Congrats on being DOTD!
