Here's what the humans have to say about me:
BENSON--"THE TOTAL LAB--HAPPY--PLAYFUL--SMART" BENSON IS A THREE YEAR OLD, 60 POUND, LABRADOR RETRIEVER MIX PUP. WE DECIDID AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH BENSON THAT THE MIX IN THIS PUP IS GREAT!!!! THE MINUTE YOU SEE BENSON YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY NOTICE WHAT A STRIKING GUY HE IS.. HE IS A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT GUY WITH A WELL CHISELED OUTLINE AND POWERFUL, MUSCULAR CONFIRMATION, HIS CLASSIC "BLOCK" LABRADOR HEAD IS ACCENTED WITH LARGE, CRYSTAL CLEAR, COGNAC COLORED EYES. THEY CONVEY A LOOK OF PLAYFULNESS, GOOD HUMOR AND TRUST. BENSON IS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST LABS WE HAVE SEEN THUS WE NICKNAMED HIM OUR "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP. HE REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED HAPPY BECAUSE BOY IS HE. HE HAS A GLOWING PERSONLAITY AND TEMPERAMENT AND BENSON HAS DECLARED EVERYDAY A HOLIDAY WELL AT LEAST IT IS TO HIM. ONCE YOU CALL HIS NAME NOW THE FUN BEGINS, BENSON WILL STAND AT ATTENTION, TURN THAT ADORABLE HEAD TO ONE SIDE, EYES TWINKLING WITH EXCITEMENT, TAIL WAGGING IN CIRCLES AND HE'S OFF HEADING YOUR WAY AS FAST AS HE CAN GO. GIVE THIS HAPPY PUP A RUB, A TREAT AND NOW BENSON HAS OFFICIATELY ADOPTED YOU AS HIS NEW BEST FRIEND. THIS PEOPLE LOVING GUY ADORES EVERYONE HE MEETS AND HE NEVER MEETS A STRANGER. HE ALSO THINKS EVERY DOG HE SEES SHOULD COME AND BE HIS NEW BEST BUDDY HE IS A TRUE "AMBASSADOR OF GOODWILL" CATS HOWEVER ARE ANOTHER MATTER AND WE HAVEN'T CONVINCED BENSON THAT CATS DON'T WANT TO ROMP AND PLAY WITH HIM SO A HOME WITHOUT CATS IS PROBABLY BEST. BENSON JUST HAS NO USE FOR LAID BACK, NAP ALL DAY, SLOW MOVING DOGS OR PEOPLE FOR THAT MATTER THERE ARE TO MAY FUN THINGS TO DO AND NEAT PLACES TO GO AND BENSON IS READY TO TAKE PART IN LIFE'S NEXT ADVENTURE. HE WOULD BEAT YOU TO THE DOOR IN THE MORNING FOR AN EARLY MORNING WALK OR JOG, BETTER BE IN GREAT SHAPE TO KEEP UP WITH OUR STAR ATHLETE. BENSON IS AN EXCELLENT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY AS HE IS FLAWLESS ON LEAD AND A THREE MILE WALK OR JOG WOULD BE AS THEY SAY A WALK IN THE PART FOR BENSON. HOW ABOUT A TRIP AROUND TOWN TO RUN ERRANDS, BENSON WILL BEAT YOU TO YOU SEAT, TURN AND GIVE YOU HIS "COME ON LET'S GO" LOOK. HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS GOING AND REALLY DOESN'T CARE HE IS WITH THE PERSON HE LOVES MOST IN THE WORLD--YOU AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO OUR COMPANION PUP. IF YOUR WEEKEND CALLED FOR A GET-A-WAY TO THE COUNTRY BENSON WOULD DELIGHT IN SPENDING HIS DAY EXPLORING NEW TRAILS JUST ENJOY THE GRANDEUR OF NATURE. WE FEEL THAT BENSON WOULD BE THE PERFECT COMPANION FOR AN ACTIVE GUY OR GIRL, A COUPLE OR A FAMILY WITH OLDER "LET'S GO" CHILDREN WHO WOULD WANT TO PLAY WITH BENSON. THERE IS ANOTHER PART TO OUR "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP'S PACKAGE AND IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO FIGURE THIS OUT--THIS IS ONE SMART GUY IT ALSO DOESN'T HURT THAT HIS FOSTER MOM IS A PROFESSIONAL TRAINER AND HER COMMENT TO US "THIS IS ONE GREAT PUP". HE IS A PUP THAT LISTENS WELL, LEARNS EXTREMELY FAST AND IS EAGER TO PLEASE AND THESE TRAITS MAKE TRAINING A BREEZE. HE IS A PUP THAT WOULD BE THE STAR OF ANY CLASS IN OBEDIENCE TRAINING AS HE DELIGHTS IN NEW THINGS TO LEARN AND CONSIDERS SOMETHING NEW A CHALLENGE. THIS PUP LOVES TO LEARN. THE POTENTIAL FOR BENSON IS HUGE. HE IS A TRUE "OPEN BOOK" AND NEEDS A FAMILY THAT IS WILLING TO TEACH, TRAIN AND WATCH THIS OUTSTANDING PUP SHINE. IF YOU ARE WANTING A SLOW MOVING, COUCH POTATO, NAP ALL DAY GUY THEN WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU KEEP LOOKING AS BENSON JUST ISN'T THE PUP FOR YOU. IF HOWEVER YOU WANT TO ADD TO YOU FAMILY A LAB THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY, A PUP WITH A BEAUTIFUL DISPOSITION AND PERSONALITY AND A GUY WHO ABSOLUTELY ADORES HIS FAMILY AND AS WE SAID ONE OF THE HAPPIEST GUYS WE HAVE SEEN THEN LOOK NO FURTHER BENSON IS YOUR PUP. JUST BE PREPARED TO SMILE ALOT, LAUGH ALOT, BE ON THE GO ALOT AND LOVE THIS "LIFE IS GOOD" PUP ALOT. HE IS A JOY!!!
