Benny lived fourteen full, joy-filled years, most of them spent a few steps ahead, leash in mouth, eyes bright with purpose. He was born with a gentle confidence and carried it through every season of his life. He was more than a companion - he was a steady presence, a quiet listener, and an unfailing reminder to get outside, even when life felt heavy. He knew every familiar trail, every friendly face, and every shortcut home. In his final years, his pace slowed, but his spirit never did. He leaves behind muddy pawprints, well-worn leashes, and a home forever warmed by his memory. Benny didn’t just walk beside us...he led the way.
