Don’t tell him he’s too big to be a lap dog, he’ll argue with you on that. He was dumped in Selah and picked up by the ACO. He's quite matted so we are working daily on de-shedding and he is very patient with me, sitting nicely while I brush him and seldomly complaining when I pull a knot. Benny has been roommates with Doc, getting along nicely with him with only a couple arguments (no one was hurt) and is fine letting my dog Sadie be the head ruler in the house. He’s a sweet boy with lots of love to give.<br/>Pics and videos (you may have to copy and paste into a new tab):<br/>https://youtube.com/shorts/KDm1OEnxazY?feature=share<br/>https://youtube.com/shorts/fbQlTfPee-Q?feature=share
