Story
Meet Benny – Your Ultimate Cuddle Buddy and Play Partner!
Benny is a total Daddy’s boy and the true poster pup for lap dogs. His perfect day starts with a morning potty break, followed by patiently waiting while his person gets coffee and settles in for some quiet reading, coffee, and meditation time. Curled up on your lap, Benny brings a calm, comforting presence that makes mornings extra special.
Once breakfast is done, Benny is all business—ready for walks, playtime, and adventure! Don’t let his size fool you: this little guy can walk your legs off and would love one or two daily walks to burn off his happy energy. He’s used to a doggy door and a fenced yard, but a fenced yard is not required if he goes on daily walks.
Evenings are Benny’s favorite time. After dinner, he grabs a favorite toy and insists you play along—tug-of-war and playful wrestling are his specialties! He’ll happily entertain himself (and you) for hours before settling in for a cozy nap on your lap. At bedtime, Benny prefers sleeping on the couch or a chair in the living room and can comfortably go 8–10 hours overnight without a potty break. In the morning, he’ll politely (and persistently!) bark to let you know it’s time to get up—he takes his routine seriously.
Benny is affectionate, alert, and loyal. He’ll let you know when a package arrives or someone’s at the door, making him a great little watchdog. He loves to fetch, wrestle, and play tug-of-war and would do best in a home children over eight years old or so who can match his playful energy. He does not do well with young children.
Benny tolerates other dogs, but he really wants all of the toys and people to himself, so he would do best as an only dog.
This enthusiastic, loving boy is full of personality and devotion—and once Benny loves you, it’s forever. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion who’s always ready for fun and companionship, Benny may be your perfect match. 🐾❤️
Benny has a dental appointment scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 23, and then he’ll be ready to join his forever family. He is being fostered in Arnold, Missouri.
Benny’s adoption fee is $325. He is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Apply to meet Freddie today by filling out the adoption application at istodaymydayrescue.org.
