My dog goes to this daycare every Friday for 3 hours. And they are always coming up with new ideas.  Thought you'd get a chuckle out of them.

He looks happy. There is a pet day care not far from me..

Haha, that dog’s a trooper!?

He's a happy boy despite the life he had before I rescued him. He's my best friend. Here he is for Halloween last year at day care.

I have known many dogs over the years that had been abused/mistreated. They always turn out to be the coolest dogs once they find their "forever" homes. My neighbor brought home a mixed breed that she found at the river. He had a belt for a collar and leash. She figured that he had been with a homeless person. She never did find the owner, so she kept him. He had some medical issues, so he wasn't around for too long, but he was nicknamed "The Ambassador" of our culdesac. I think she had him for about 4 years. He saw her through her husband's suicide.

Ambassador was one handsome fellow. Ben is our 5th rescue from a bad place, It's amazing what that one little thing is that you do for them that makes them believe and trust you. So many people want a puppy when there are so many amazing dogs in shelter that can show you the same love and loyalty as a puppy.

Her late husband named him Patrick. Everyone giggled at that name because it is the maiden name of my neighbor. Vet #1 told her he was 4 and was in good health. Vet #2 said he was probably 8 and had long standing issues with his knees. Overall, she spent around $8k on him for various surgeries. He weighed about 70 pounds and I think my neighbor weighs around 90 lbs. He was a sweet dog, but always wanted to run to other dogs (to play) and hated squirrels. Bad. I was working in the yard one evening when they were going for a walk and he bolted to go sniff another dog. Neighbor did a face plant into the sidewalk. I grabbed and scolded Patrick. She had some serious sidewalk rash from her face plant, and a black eye.

His nickname was "The Ambassador of xxxxxx Court" because everyone loved him.

Most of the dogs around here that are in a shelter seem to be more damaged than most. Lots of Pits and very elderly dogs. They all have "issues" with other dogs, children, etc.

I am not a dog person, but Ben is very lucky to have found you as a forever home.
