My very first dog was Benny, he was a yellow labrador/beagle mix - my parents got him at the shelter when he was 8 weeks old - 2 years before I was born, so he was around.. almost 1/2 of my life, til' he was 16, and I was 14, and we had to put him to sleep, that really torn me so hard, but now I have two, which y'all know - Anna and Rosie. So basically I've been around dogs all my life and I love dogs, I can't live w/out them at all Anyway I miss Benny like crazy, he was my best friend and he was always there for me..
