This is the Story of
Benny

Age: 1 year old
Breed: Black Lab Mix
Weight: 45lbs


I'm a very cute black Lab mix one year old puppy.  I have sleek black hair that is very short, and my foster mom thinks I have the cutest most expressive ears ever!!!!  I have whip of a tail, but I keep it mostly under control...I always use it to show how happy I am to see you!!!!  I love to stretch my gangly legs up on you to show you how much I love you....
 
I am a very very special boy because I am one of 20% of puppies that survives distemper.  My brother was not so lucky.  Distemper is a horrible disease that makes puppies very sick, and I have some lasting signs of my battle.  I fought the disease off for more that two months and mostly laid on my foster mom's ottoman and wagged my tail to show I was still fighting.  My lungs got hurt in the process and I very often cough/weeze.  I also like to play a bit, but I often have to stop to catch my breath.  This looks very scary, but really it's not so bad. 
 
Most of my day is spent with my foster brothers and sister.  I like to chew on bones and get rubbed on.  I am fully potty trained because we have a doggie door...but that was never much of a problem for me.  I still lay on the ottoman a lot, but now I'm not sick.  I also like a warm bed to lay at the bottom of at night.  I like to give kisses, but sometimes I get confused and nibble instead of lick, but I never bite.  I love treats and I do great with other dogs, but I don't know what a cat is...but we could probably be friends. 
 
I am looking for a forever home.  I can't be a running buddy because of my lungs, but I can be a lap dog.  I don't bark much, but I'll let you know if something is amiss.  So, if you have a spare ottoman for me; I have love for you!!!!
