Ben is a lover of animals and grew up with many dogs in his life. We have had one dog in our family for the past 14.5 years and and his sister has a dog that stays with us often for extended periods of time. Ben also has 6 dog cousins who are always in our home. Ben is very affectionate with all dogs and loves to walk them in the fields and on the beach. The dogs seem to respond to him positively as well. We have left Ben with our family dog for days and the dog is happy and well taken care of. we trust ben completely!
